Those paths are narrower than the multi modals and less room for passing particularly if you have oncoming bicycles from opposite directions and walkers as well. The main thing is that everyone does what they can to ensure the safety of themselves and all others on the path and not stick by some “I had the right of way” mentality that will not prove very useful once someone is seriously injured.
Bicycles at times go as fast as golf carts go, at times, and e-bikes ARE motorized vehicles. I would walk on the left on any path where bikes and e-bikes are allowed.
