Yes, you're wrong. A "path racer" is a track bike - they're one and the same thing. A "path" and a "track" are two names for the same thing - regardless of surface material (tarmac, wood, grass). A "road/path" (i.e. dual purpose) bike may indeed have been more relaxed, but for reasons of utility, not road surface.
