I don't think we call them that here (southeastern Australia) and we
also don't appear to have any "network" as such - every council just
creates their own style of bike path and connects it to whatever else
is nearby. The latest trend is to build a bike path alongside every
new freeway or freeway extension, presumably to placate the
environmental protestors. They end up with such inspiring names as
"Eastlink Trail", "Western Ring Rd Trail", "Deer Park Bypass Wellness
Trail"...
