The moderators have apparently been lax as of recent about this amusing name abuse going about, so I see no reason I should silence my opinion about the curmudgeony that's going on here, provided it doesn't single any one user out.

It sounds as if you are trying to judge every protected bike lane in existence over a single PBL that you haven't shared a photo of - automatically putting my position at a convenient (for you) disadvantage. It is impossible to have a fair debate when I don't know how good or bad your city has built them - do they have proper setback, what's the separation like, etc...
Also, what are you defining as a "bike path?" An unprotected bike lane? Dedicated and separated trail? Or one of those crappy and oh-so-common multiple-use-paths (a.k.a. glorified sidewalk) where everyone has an equal opportunity to get on each other's nerves?
