Shared paths require cyclists to stop at every side road, which is bullshit. They have right of way on the road itself so they will obviously use it instead.

Also, pedestrians don't read road signs so they often think you're not allowed to be on the shared path. I've seen cyclists get assaulted for using them and had plenty of people shouting at me for doing what I'm allowed (but not legally required) to do.

They're just a cheap and lazy way to pretend there is cycling infrastructure when there isn't, really.
