The point I think is that in most cases, even though the paths are theoretically provided for the safety of the cyclists, they're not designed by people who are competent, and as a result they are actually less safe than the road, sometimes a LOT less safe.
Following mandatory sidepath laws when the path is less safe than the road is just leading to another case of being "dead" right. I'd rather be alive and "wrong".
