Everything you are advocating can be accomplished without turning our precious MUPs into an e-bike thruway. It's sad that someone who bikes, apparently on MUPs also, is so eager to throw away a valuable sanctuary.
I never thought of a public domain MUP as a sanctuary. Interesting. Precious 8-10' wide pavement? Hmmmm. I commuted about 2,100 bike miles this last year. More on day trips, mt biking and touring. Sad? Folks who are so narrow minded about the bright future of transportation. That doesn't involve a gas engine. Wait till the regen able motors for bikes get here, just pedaling will charge them up. Whooot. I guess you never pedal on the road? The Fred reference was to Fred Flintstone. Ya know, a pedal car. Use any dyno hubs on your tours? Same thing, no? I don't text and drive or text and pedal, only air guitar. Van Halen, really loud singing off key, every one gets outta my way. Really.
