On the Historic side, we have mostly just the public streets. There's one MMP that runs along 441 from the Archery Range and Paradise Park, to the Veterinarian's office near that side gate into the Silver Lake area on the way to the Post Office.
I have no problem at all sharing the road with cars, pedestrians, and golf carts. I often ride from my house way up on the northwestern corner of the Historic Section (near Paradise Ave/West Schwartz/Lauren) down to Silver Lake, and then back up via St. Andrew's to the country club to get home again.
I'd be incredibly hesitant to ride my bike on Morse, Buena Vista, or El Camino Real. I would not ride on 441, 466, or 466A at all. I'd walk my bike across the street if I needed to cross at all.
If I had to ride in the area of a roundabout, and there was a golf cart tunnel, I'd *probably* ride to the corner, watch for traffic, and walk my bike across the street rather than ride my bike around the circle or through the tunnel.
I'd feel 100% comfortable riding on the MMPs (other than tunnels). They just don't intimidate me at all and I'm respectful of people who want to pass in their golf carts. Been riding my bicycle regularly since I was 3 years old, I'm not about to let some grumpy old ferts stop me now.
