Yeah, the one better thing was a joke, you might want to brush up on the concept.
I do a lot of my riding on the Minuteman, in parts extremely crowded, so I'm not "not considering" anything, I'm saying you can't just assume all MUPs are like that. Even the Minuteman has a straight low population stretch through a swamp where basically everyone rides fast, and pedestrians are few and far between.. My point is that you can't just go "that's too fast, you're reckless" based on the mph without knowing something about the path they're on. You appeared to be incredulous that someone would ride in excess of 20 mph on a MUP. I do it a lot, I also slow down a lot.
I also don't ride on some paths because doing so safely requires going slower than I care to. I don't complain about those paths, they're just not for me.
