Do you consider riding on the MUP/bike path to be road cycling? Would you consider a cyclist that does all (or the vast majority) of their cycling on a MUP/bike path to be a road cyclist?
Vote and/or discuss.
It depends.
If the MUP is a packed gravel trail, as some are in my area, and you do your entire ride on the packed gravel trail ... probably not.
But if the MUP is the Intercity Cycleway, which we've also got here, and is paved and laned similar to a road ... maybe.
And if you do, as we often do, part of your ride on the Cycleway and part of your ride on the road ... yes.
