It may be logically safer, but a serious bike rider may be out for a 50 mile ride. Turns, tunnels, pedestrians, stop signs, and road crossings would make 50 miles a long ride. Imagine traveling from 466 to 466a on Morse Blvd. Not one stop sign, just yield signs at the traffic circles. Now turn right on 466a, and right again on Buena Vista - as you head up north no stop signs again until you get to the light at 466. Now map out that same route using the multi-modal paths. Lots of stops, road crossings, tunnels, tight turns, and speed bumps - and oh yeah, cart traffic, pedestrians, dog walkers, etc.
