am I allowed my lane on the bike path?

I would say, of course you're allowed your lane...

...but don't expect it to be given to you.

That's why I don't ride many of the paths anymore. I get too ticked off by the lack of common courtesy.

Yeah, I feel this way about shoppers in Wally World. They hog the middle of the aisle with their cart and don't give one hooey about others. Oh, and the dawdlers who take their time walking as a group down the middle of the street as you are patiently waiting to pull into a parking place.
