That's for sure. There are MUPs around here that are unusable on summer weekends with joggers, dog walkers, roller-bladers and plain old pedestrians. But in the winter they are great. There was even a letter to the editor complaining about "maniac cyclists" who were "travel at least 40 mph" on the MUP

The only downside is that it gets dark so darned early in the winter
