> In Germany we have rules, and one of those rules is that pedestrians on the sidewalk who are in the cyclepath (usually a too-subtle red stone) do, in fact, have to get out of the way for cyclists.

Yeah that's the problem, it's often too subtle and hard to notice.

That's why bike lanes should be dedicated with a stone barrier/kerb, or bikes should just not be allowed there.
