There's a nice article highlighting bike trails in the latest edition of the Rails to Trails magazine, here's a little snippet to whet your appetite:

Well, the Keystone does offer/will offer connection to several other trails that do flow through neighborhoods, as well as all crossing streets, so in that sense it does offer "connections", so I don't think it's being over-romanticized.
I'd agree that the vast majority of its current use is linked to recreation though.
