cycle paths

Lanes for bicycles

Cycle paths are paved routes designated for bicycles, separated from motor vehicle traffic.

They may run alongside roads or through parks and green spaces.

In British slang, the phrase sounds like "psychopaths" when spoken quickly, making it a punchline or euphemism: The city is full of cycle paths.
