Where in the heck do you get the idea that driving a bike to work or to shopping or to where ever is recreation? Next you'll be telling me that bicycles are toys...
Perhaps the problem with your local MUPs is that they ARE recreational facilities... designed by parks departments. Perhaps it is high time that well designed bicycle facilities are built... for transportation.
That's the exact situation with the MUPs I've seen here in Maryville & Lenoir City, and with the ones in Knoxville. At least the ones in Knoxville go somewhere. But they're mainly full of a quite dangerous mix of "traffic" and weren't apparently conceived of as realistic commuting alternatives.
So that's where I get that ridiculous idea.
As you point out, well designed bicycle facilities should be built for transportation. I've just not seen that.
And please don't be such a pompous dick in the future. Raises my hackles. Just make your point and move on without shouting and other such bullcrap.
