I feel very safe on the MMP and diamond lanes. The key is anticipating when any carts will be in your vicinity and present them with an easy pass. Try to avoid being on a split section of the path when a cart approaches. And I ride a hybrid bicycle so I can pull onto the grass anytime I feel like it might be necessary. I feel much more in control of my own safety on the MMP than riding on the street. I do not like being constantly passed by cars going 45-50 mph or more. No amount of caution can save you if one of those cars makes a big mistake.
