Yeah, a while ago, I had an officer get on his PA system and order me to either ride further to the right or to get on the sidewalk. While riding on the sidewalk is legal here in Florida, I really don't like or recommend it.

I also had a couple in a car pull alongside of me and lecture me that I "belonged" on the newly widened MUP instead of riding on the road.
