I had been cycling for 18 years before I encountered my first bike path ... that was a short, rather pointless path in Winnipeg which I rarely used. And it was another 13 years (including 5-6 years being car free and a whole lot of cycling) before I encountered my first bike lane ... that was in Canberra.
