Animals make more sense. Those little stones are not fun to walk on barefoot.

Totally fair, but also crappy for bikes and it's good for staying away from anyone walking

Mountain biker here, a primarily bike path would have a deeper rut in it cause of the way tyres sink into the earth. Also, no tyres tracks visible. Probably would have some bikers, but not its main purpose, I'd guess.
