There are some nice looking, and almost unused, bike paths near me. Mostly because the nice-looking parts are covering areas you didn't need a bike path so much, but were cheap to add. And then they just end in extremely dangerous sections of road where you absolutely need a path but it would be expensive to add.

Shockingly underutilized! I've still never managed to commute by bike to my work, even though it's less than 11 miles away (following the roads) because of this.
