A cycle track, separated bike lane[1] or protected bike lane (sometimes historically[2] referred to as a sidepath) is an exclusive bikeway that has elements of a separated path and on-road bike lane. A cycle track is located within or next to the roadway, but is made distinct from both the sidewalk and general purpose roadway by vertical barriers or elevation differences.[from wikipedia]
