Cyclists are constantly taking high speed risks painting the yellow line between groups in opposing directions, rather than waiting for proper opening. I think parents should make a concerted effort to teach awareness, but kids occasionally stray, that what kids do. Parents shouldn't need to worry they're endangering their kids by talking a walk on a nice trail; or helping to instill confidence with the training wheels off their own bikes.

And to the primary point of OP yes I've seen pace lines flying down the MUP...
