In my area the federal and state legislation for MUPs was officially intended to create bicycle *commuting* pathways as an alternative to driving. Recreational riding and dog-walking were considered to be secondary benefits. I look at both dogwalkers and roadies on the MUP as potential hazards during my commutes, and for different reasons.
