I don't ride much that way so I enjoy the car free, minimal hassle experience quite a bit. Miles are miles.
This bike path is great. I don't know how many miles of it there are but you can get some good work in, especially during the week. A few knuckleheads, of course.
When I first started riding I lived near a park with a 5 mile bike path loop. I thought I was a badass bike rider when I did the whole thing. Later, I graduated to 2 laps and was ready for the Tour de France.
