It’d be hard to put it in practice on a MUP trail though.

AAAAH yes its that time of year , when all the fake fitness dweebs come out of their electronic device induced hibernation to pretend to get in shape , and see the outdoors ???
they take to the local "BIKE PATH " to clog it up with all sorts of non BIKE activities and PERSONAL TIME ,
such as , 30 foot dog leash walking , because your dog has to be 30 feet away cross both lanes for it to be consider a humane experience ,
and dont forget entire family on the path 5 wide taking both lanes ,
kiddy slalom sessions , because dodging ninja laser beams is radical !!!
and we cant leave out , the rides the pitch black path with no lights or reflectors ,
the classic ,
head to toe high vis with three tail lights gives you a dirty look for wearing black , but cant handle and up right Schwinn with training wheels lol ,
anyway post all your MUP GRIPES BELOW!!!!

But this got me to thinking...
At first I found it odd that he was sleeping in the *middle* of the MUP, since I'd seen him before in the same area but on the edge of the concrete path. After thinking about it, though, it seems to me like if you're going to sleep in the MUP, placing yourself in the middle might just be the best place. On one side or the other, it seems like you're be more likely to get run over.
Normally I wouldn't hijack a thread like this, but in the case of this thread, I think changing the discussion to "which side of the MUP is the safest to sleep on" would be more productive.

Maybe he was dead. I was riding to work one morning. Guy was sitting in the grass with his back propped up on a large, public sculpture. Had it not been for the cops and the sheet covering his body (his left hand was still visible), I'll be he looked to be sleeping.

I would normally agree, but I passed a guy who was sleeping in the middle of a local MUP the other morning at about 5:30 AM. I'm sure he'd been there since long before 4AM.

That reminds me...mid morning last summer there was a bum looking guy sleeping in the middle of the MUP. Normally I hate to get involved in other people's crap, but I had to turn around. I woke him up and suggested he move over to the shade of the trees. The sun would have taken his hide off. He thanked me and staggered over to the trees.

In my region, there are so many bike lanes, adequate road shoulders and non-traditional routes that I rarely have to venture onto an MUP. But there are certain terrain and physical obstacles (interstates, rivers, portions of downtown DC) that force me to take a path for a portion of a ride to get from where I am to where I need to be.
Taking a path would be the absolute last resort, though. Let the other people have their fun.

Sorry to the OP, but three people replied to my post, so here we go again. 
As one who posts for enjoyment,
Now, if you have read so far, one of the best replies was seemingly tongue-in-cheek, but IMO unintentionally articulates my intent:
Besides my own enjoyment, Bike Forums may be the better for all those (nested) quotes.
In this post I have quoted 12 other subscribers, and just this morning before 7:30 AM I had quoted 10 others on six different threads; @mstateglfr twice.
Anyways, regarding clarity (from now-closed threads),
(popcorn) thread if all the replies are in agreement?I have been an avid cyclist, as a lifestyle since about 1972...I happened serendipitously on Bike Forums in 2008, and it was frankly incredible to find a community that shared so many concerns I had kept to myself as a lone cyclist.
This enthusiasm has definitely increased my enjoyment of cycling. As far as improving it, what I have gotten directly from BF [include]…the opportunity to post and literally "journal" my thoughts and activities about cycling and lifestyle (even if nobody else reads them), but which I wouldn't write down otherwise...

Posting has become an avocation for me…and beside the exchange of information and ideas, I enjoy the mechanics of writing…
So with my experiences in cycling, and my frequent posting over the years, if I have replied on a recurrent topic, written to my satisfaction, I’ll just quote it. A further challenge then becomes finding the post...

Furthermore…While even if nobody reads my posts, I do try to communicate clearly to the reader. At least I try to evenly space, and keep my paragraphs short for easier readability, FWIW.

I leave my quotes as links to identify the author, and if anyone is interested in reading further, or verifying those quotes, they can easily be followed right from the post.
First of all you [not referring to me] have no need to apologize for a lengthy post, least of all to me of all people.
Part of the reason I like forums as apposed to other forms of written communal internet forms is because I consider it the "long deep conversation format" rather then the quick short snappy sound bite like format like twitter and such.

Jim from somewhere between New Jersey and Vermont gave us a post which is more than one foot long ---about short posts.
The rest of you just need to surrender and bow down.

Wow. That is masterful. I've always thought it was just self-indulgent and convoluted, but now I see that they are really performance art.

Mentions/quote notification should be #1 priority. It generates more use.
You mean that more people possibly view your profile?...
You miss the point. Some of us actually like to communicate with each other:
Quotes and mentions are a great tool for doing that, also for moving discussions forward within a large and diverse thread. Just look at the number of times quotes have been used to forward this discussion.

I imagine that he means that those of us who get e-mail notification of quotes and mentions are more likely to come back more frequently because our interest has been piqued to wonder what people are saying about our comments not that we want to look at the profiles of people...
And mentioning [and quoting] someone draws their attention to the thread in which they've been mentioned, which they might not otherwise visit, again bringing up the number of visits.
More page views => more revenue...

I’m not especially motivated to read or write about rides in areas I will never visit, or bikes I would not buy. Other cyclists’ biking stories are often meaningful to me, but usually not consequential enough for a reply.
Frankly, now my main enjoyment is reading the personal clashes [like this present one] on the various threads, such as these current ones: "I work with a moron", or ”How often do you check your mirror?.”

Don't forget a 30' dog leash AND head buried in a cell phone. I almost took out a cute cocker spaniel becuz the leash was across the trail and I didn't see the dog in the shadows until the last moment. If it was having trouble doing its "constitutional" before I got there, from the look on its face when I was bearing down on it, it was prob'ly leaving a brown trail all the way home.
Another is a couple stopped and having a conversation out in the path hidden from me due to a blind corner (and they had plenty of room to be off the trail).

5 years ago, the bike paths had rougher surfaces than the local roads.
The bike paths are smoother than the roads now, yet nothing was done to the bike paths in those 5 years...
Minds well pour down shards of glass & metal debris everywhere. Make everything equally unsafe to commute on.

Speaking of rail trail, we have hundreds of miles of it. Usually the specific rail trails (not intracity mup) are lined on each side by 1.5" to 3" rock. There always seems to be some on the path.
Where do they come from!!??
Where does that random rock come from on the mup that has grass bordering it!!??

If you venture farther afield where the runners can't go, the bike paths are heavily populated by cyclists all going about their business. I ensure I stay well out of the way of those who have the need for speed. Life is just better that way.

Man! I gotta admit some of that stuff is somewhat irritating and some even dangerous but geez. Some "BP" are multipurpose and ya gotta deal with what's happening. I almost always avoid BP unless directed to or because of safety considerations even then... Sometimes there's no other way and then, if you have to share, it's cyclists that are at the lower end of the food chain. I slow down and even walk in a few situations. Some cyclists see me in the left turn lane on a multilane intersection and think I'm nuts but it's safer than negotiating some BP.

Wednesday i was riding on a MUP in the preserve and came across a loose dog so I stopped. The owner yelled SORRY. I told him if he was obeying the 6' leash law he wouldn't have to be sorry. He then yelled I should slow down and I replied there's a 15mph speed limit and I was only doing 14mph. And that I was obeying the law while he wasn't.
BTW, there was no one on the path and the speed I was going was more than safe.
I generally ride at 16mph but was only doing 14mph since I was not on a open road.

I understood.
I just didn't get his logic that his breaking the rule was my fault.
Anyway, as I always say "when riding on a MUP it's always YOUR fault if you hit a kid or a dog". That's why when I'm on one i ride slower.
