I rode yesterday about 12 miles on the MMP, and part of it was all the way to the last turn around before the Brownwood bridge, on Meggison. Never once did I see an issue with carts having a problem passing when needed. I also didn’t see big groups of cyclists bunched up. They all seem to be spread out with wide gaps for passing. The largest group of cyclists I saw in the 12 miles was my group of six people. Most of my group averaged 18-20 miles an hour (we all have E-bikes) and we often had to pass carts going too slow. Btw, the trike in our group can do 29 miles an hour and no cart can keep up with him, so it’s not always the bikes slowing things up, since many are E-bikes these days.
