You don't understand that most of the bicycle infrastructure is NOT
"kiddy paths." It is mainly used by commuters during the week. On
weekends you may get some small kids on the first quarter mile from
parking areas, but they don't go much further than that.

You should come ride the American River Trail than runs from Sacramento
to Folsom. A very direct ride from suburbs to employment centers. Ditto
for several long MUPs in Silicon Valley.
