Since I am a avid cyclist and ride the roads all the time, I will say the thing I see that be-wilders the be-shizzle out of me is why do the recreational cyclist if you will, the ones on the beach cruisers doing 3 mph and no helments, no protective gear of any sort on, Having a hard time staying on the side of the road much less in a lane..... Why would you ride on the road like that. To me those are the ones that need to stay on the MMP. It is one thing to have cyclist on the road, but not the ones doing 3-5 mph and swerving all over the lane.

Now with that said, they have the same right as I or you have,, but when I ride on the roads usually in a pack try to keep speed above 20 mph at least. when I am riding by myself I will usually ride the MMP to stay out of traffic. JUST A THOUGHT..

Your post says it all. We are/were the recreational riders who swerve all over the road. In MI we could ride miles and miles on paths and never once have to ride on the street. Just the thought of having to ride on TV streets to even get to the MMPs was scary enough that we gave our bikes away and took up pickleball.
