I also rode on a MUP as part of the same route. I did "take the lane" through the neighborhoods though, at about 10mph.
My understanding is that Rando is truely non vehicluar in style. He chooses sidewalk even when the road is pleasant (except for lack of shade), such as this example of a lightly traveled low speed limit road with very wide lanes.

This is not at all meant as a negative comment about him. I very much appreciate the honesty and the reasoning.
The only thing I am curious about is if he uses the sidewalk on same road on colder days or when the sun is down.
