This. Between our house and local village is about 1.7 miles, half is a MUP about 7' from the road and the half closest to the village is a dedicated bike path. Given how often I see cars slide in to other cars, light posts, signs, curbs, ditches, pedestrians, and bicyclists, I have little desire to play with them. So, during winter I limit bicycle commutes to only places that I can reach by segregated path.
