The biggest problem I see with bicycle paths is the LACK of infrastructure to bicycle to them.


The two biggest problems with bicycle paths are, these either go from
nowhere to nowhere, or they put the cyclist on the wrong side of
traffic.


This article and video illustrates 3 bicycle and pedestrian bridges in
Copenhagen that have those problems and others:

Stupid Bridge""

Bicycle path enthusiasts from all over the world have a solution,
though: just dig a canal from here to there, fill it with water, frame
it with bicyclce paths, and the bicycle traffic will come. It did work
in the Netherlands, so it certainly will work for the steep roads in
your home town, too!
