Bad assumption. I've been hit from behind by a cyclist on an MUP. He apparently was planning on passing to the left of me but oncoming traffic did not permit him squeezing through. Too much speed and too little judgement. Lucky that I was just grazed and not taken down.

It's unfortunate that the cycling menaces cause us all to be labeled
