    I ride multi-use trails a lot, and we all have to remember to share the trail. Yes, most of the pedestrians and many of the other cyclists are oblivious, but if you ride trails of that sort knowing that's what you're sharing the trail with, then you can be prepared to react when necessary. And, as Regina pointed out, you cannot realistically (or logically) use an MUT for fast training rides. Most trails do have a 15mph speed limit that should be respected.

    The other thing that I learned a long time ago on trails of that sort: Do NOT run over anything that looks like a stick unless you are absolutely sure that it is a stick!
    "How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
    David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com

    Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

    I'm afraid to run over sticks. and not because I'm worried about snakes!
