Half of my commute is on a narrow, winding, two-lane 35mph parkway with no shoulders, that has a MUP running parallel to it. I ride the road. We don't have any laws against doing so, but a lot of motorists just don't get it and think you should be on the path. I ride the right tire track, maybe center, since the outside of the lane and be pretty poor in places, only yielding right when it's safe to do so. Really pisses motorists off when there is a lot of oncoming traffic, because I don't give them any room to try to squeeze past around the numerous blind curves...tough cookies, bikes have been ridden on this road since before the MUP ever existed, anyone who grew up or lived here for any number of years should know that and not choose this route if they are in a freaking hurry, they got plenty of freeways and 4 lane arterials to choose from if they feel the need for speed. Pains me every day to see the amount of road kill on our roads...people just don't give a crap about slowing down, paying attention or driving courtesly (animals are people too ya know!)
