Cyclists are an interesting study in self affirmation, or at least in the determination to believe what you want. Somehow, there's no instance where riding on the road is too dangerous, and we hear about how it's more dangerous to drive in a car or more likely you'll be eaten by a shark or something like that.... yet at the same time MUPs are the most dangerous things on this earth and heaven forbid if you ride on a side walk you're going to get cancer instantly and, by god, you'd have deserved it, too.
