You just like to try to create arguments, don't you? IF the throttle is on the bike (which it only is for use on the roadways, not on the pathways) then I can use it to clear an intersection if there is a problem. Just like I don't wear my rear view mirror when riding MUPS but never forget it on the streets...sheesh. My bike is also my "car" and I have chosen different devices for running errands on the street compared to when I ride on MUPS for exercise.
