Your MUPs are obviously not like our MUPs - if you had my route to work, you'd be singing a different tune.

As far as joggers in the bike lane, I understand why they want to run on asphalt instead of concrete, and I can respect that. I do appreciate it when joggers get on the sidewalk when I'm coming - it's much easier to hop the curb on foot than on a bike.

What I don't get are the joggers who run in the street or bike lane, but so close to the curb that they're running in the concrete gutter. WTF? Is the concrete in the gutter softer than the concrete on the sidewalk, or do they just know that "real" runners run in the street buy they don't know why?
