Yes, but why not use the correct term if you know what it is? Even the Wikipedia entry is not really correct because a path racer was what a track bike was called in the UK back in the 1930s or so. It's just a track bike from that era. It's just that back in those days cyclists there were working class people who could only afford one bike, so their racer had to allow the fitting of brakes, lights and fenders for daily use.
