Living in the valley, the bike path along the orange line adds a whole element of quick weekend recreation to the area, especially for occasional or novice cyclists who are intimidated by biking on streets without bike lanes (which there are plenty of in the valley). My wife and I will load up our small (13 lb) dog in a dog bike carrier, bike the 2 miles to the orange line bike path, and then complete the leisurely bike ride to the dog park on Victory. It wouldn't be nearly as relaxing or enjoyable if we had to cycle on streets the whole time. Bike paths should be added to sections of the blue line (sometimes it is elevated, so I guess that wouldn't work for the whole line) and the gold line. Bike Path = good.

Props to Metro for including this into the design of the EXPO. This should be a common design element for many of the future light rail projects...should help out Metro in the long run by boosting ridership. The bike path is a superb idea!
