Got it. And I appreciate the points you make. At the risk of careening the thread off into a discussion of how to ride on the road properly, I'll just note that this particular MUP is between 20 and 40 yards from the road (Tramway Avenue), which does have a nice wide shoulder for bikes, and that a lot of cyclists use. The city is Albuquerque, NM and is a pretty bike-conscious town. I can't really comment on how well or poorly designed the MUP is, but in this case my choice is either ride it OR the road. Maybe if I continue to ride the MUP, and until I get better skills, I'll just dismount and walk my bike at each intersection. That wouldn't kill me (no pun intended).

Another more experienced friend told me while riding either act like a pedestrian or a car. No in-between stuff. I think that's what you are saying.
