I don't mind riding MUP but you have to be just as careful as you do on the road..
It's pretty easy to manage the threats on an MUP. It's a simple matter of being willing to slow down when conditions warrant it. The threats on a road aren't as manageable and the consequences of contact can be much more grave.
