It isn't that I don't have places to be, but I accept that cyclists should yield to pedestrians. Behind the wheel of a car (rare) I will not use its power and/or heft to have my way with cyclists on the road either. That doesn't make me better than you, but it demonstrates that I have (and you could) more patience than the average cyclist with our pedestrian counterparts.
I don't either. I never speed when on MUPs, I usually ride under the posted speed limit, because they're so dangerous, with many blind corners. Most my
MUP riding has been in the D.C. area.
