The key here is "well-designed." If I had such a bike path next to a traffic lane with cars and trucking zooming by, I would definitely take the bike path.

Unfortunately, such "well-designed" bike paths are not as easy to find as I wish. The only bike path along with the traffic (i.e. not MUPs) that I find to be well-designed in the Seattle area is the one on Dexter. @kickstart can probably relate to that.
