So anything that a cyclists is allowed to travel on (presumably, excluding
roads) is a "bike path"?

What counts as telling "the user" (?) that a cyclist can go down a path?  If
the law is silent on the matter (therefore, it is allowed), would I need a
court ruling?  Is a law clearly saying that bikes are allowed even
sufficient?

What if the images weren't blurred?  What if I actually saw the people?

Not every jurisdiction puts up signs everywhere telling people that they're
allowed to do things.  A "bikes allowed" sign is redundant here in Florida.
Might as well have signs for "teenagers allowed" and "dogs allowed" and "GPS
devices allowed".
