+1, but, in my area, the MUPs usually aren't very crowded in the late fall through early spring. This winter being an exception. I have one with lights every 1/10th mile that's ideal for riding after dark. No one uses it then except 3-4 regular riders. But on nice days--of which this winter has been for the most part--it's hairy.
