Designed well means they go to all the residential and businesses locations. I can ride all over, across, up and down and around and to/from various cities here on a network of hundreds of miles of paths, but few if any take me where I need to go which happens to be where all the streets go. So cyclists either need to use the streets or the paths need to intersect ever street, at least at every intersection if not more frequently.
