Recreational biking is pretty good, but for commuter biking, more bike lanes are needed. Pathways aren't always very good for that, as the law requires you (technically) to dismount and walk across roadways.

The 'paths through parks', while nice for recreational biking, are the low-hanging fruit that politicians can use to say "Look! We already have ___ hundred km's of bike lanes, why do we need more?".
