I think the thing that irritates me the most about paths and bike lanes is they tend to be put where they do the least good. Paths are put in parks or along rivers or RR beds, but rarely in congested urban areas as an alternative to crowded high speed arterials.

Bike lanes are put on quiet roads, and here even arterials, but oddly on the arterials if the road becomes narrow or there is on street parking... oops nothing for cyclists.

Oh we do have two paths that are quite nice... one provides connection where only Freeways go... but it is a narrow path with poor corners...

The other path parallels a new Freeway... the path was added as there was once a road that connected various communities that cyclists could use, but it was replaced by a limited access Freeway, thus cutting off cyclists until the path was built.
