I would actually be eager for the opportunity. However, I've never lived anywhere where the "must use" or "ride right" laws were enforced in a manner inconsistent with the way they were written. LEOs I've encountered have all allowed cyclists to use their best judgement regarding where to ride.

Incidentally, I was recently given a verbal warning for trespassing for riding an MUP after dark that cut through a public park. I was told I needed to use the traffic lane of the adjacent road.
