I ride like I want others to ride and to drive, safely and using common sense (which does not seem to be a common as it used to be) at all times. We don't have any MUP nearby our home so I don't have that experience but in our rural and agricultural area there are walkers and many on horseback. As said, horses spook easily, our daughter rode for many years and we were horse owners, and I don't want the rider being hurt or a horse being injured because I was careless or reckless. I make it a point to give the riders room, let them know where I am and where I am headed and be sure to be polite and pleasant. The many Mennonite ladies that ride around my routes now know me and wave back at me and we exchange hellos. I think the good will and the common courtesy are worth the few seconds it takes to do so.

The idiot screaming through an MUP and weaving against his called direction is just asking to hurt someone, their selves included. Shame is they are probably posting on a roadie forum how people walking or riding slower on the paths are just asking to be screamed at or hit by them. Sad but most likely true.
