@delirious_owl most bike paths around here are two-direction. To pass a slower cyclist, you need to go on the reverse direction lane. With heavy traffic, just like roads for cars with similar lane arrangement, passing is touchy.
What doesn’t help either are multifunctional paths, or paths shared by cyclists and pedestrians.

Good for you if that’s your cruising speed, but it’s not everyone who rides that fast. On busy urban bike paths, such speed is rather reckless. Most casual cyclists ride much slower (about half that speed).
@delirious_owl not as far as I know. The main problem in my small city is the bike network is disorganized. Pockets of bike paths or lanes that don’t link together. I believe they’re working on that.
Now thinking about it, not all bike paths are shared with pedestrians, fortunately.
