I'm sure your own behavior was faultless, but many pedestrians also exhibit rude and dangerous behavior on the MUPs. I blame a serious design flaw. Pedstrians and bicyclists should not be expected to share the same 5 foot strip of path in crowded areas. Nowadays, the best design standards call for separate paths for bikes and walkers. This makes a lot of sense to me, especially in crowded areas like city centers and recreation areas.
