Oddly enough, cyclist advocacy groups have always been very strongly against cycling on footpaths as statistically it can be more dangerous at times e.g. cars coming out of driveways onto said path and foothpaths finishing with side roads at the side! I have very nearly been killed twice in both of these situations!
However where I live the roads in places are very narrow and can have 2 lanes in each direction and the footpath beside them might have absolutely nobody on it!
