+1.
Those are the rules on the bike paths around here. Walkers, runners, etc on the left, cyclists on the right. It works great when people actually follow the rules. When I'm riding, I always move over for the peds, and since they can see me there are no surprises. When I'm running on the path, I've noticed other cyclists doing the same for me.
The only close calls I've ever had were from those idiots that did not heed the signs on the path.

I'd have an open mind if you actually provided some of the reasons, but until then I'll have to rely on my actual experience.

Why? Imagine trying to run against traffic on a crowded MUP.
If you can't figure that one, I'm cheering on the horns - they really do need to BLAST AWAY at you.

I suspect there's nothing I could write to enlighten someone so clearly married to their opinions.
Too bad there are so many of you. That's probably why there are so many mups with these unsafe rules.
