I ask myself the same question. I often walk the stretch of path from Botello Avenue to Buenos Aires--paved the entire way, with fresh median lines--and will see packs of bicyclists tooling along, taking up a lane of traffic, when they could just as easily take the MMP. I know they have the right. But having the right to do something doesn't always make it the smart thing to do. In car vs. bicycle, bicycle loses every time.
