danbrotherston's explanation of why someone might prefer King Street North to the trail is a pretty good one.
You're required to have a light during "unfavourable atmospheric conditions"? I never knew that...
I also tend to avoid MUTs when possible, but along that stretch (and I ride it almost every day in the summer) you can be sure i'm on the MUT. The inconvenience of the crossings, slower speed and bumpy sections (???) are much preferred to the alternative. It is a very dangerous section of road for cyclists, IMO.
