Ride wherever it is legal to ride a bike. I ride thousands of miles a year and I prefer riding with the bike club. We ride in groups with rear view mirrors and front and rear lights and we normally only ride on the roads. Bicycling at 17-22 miles an hour on the multimodal paths is not safe for anyone. I do ride with a friend occasionally on the multimodal paths, but at a slower speed and we don’t use many tunnels as they are dangerous, but instead use the roundabouts and then rejoin the path. Do what you like to do. Don’t pay too much attention to what is said here. Be careful and considerate and you should do OK.
