For the record, I was involved in a collision on this stretch of 'cycle path' about a month ago. A guy who was texting walked out in front of me. I was able to apply my brakes and swerve to try and avoid hitting him, but I did still make contact and then wiped-out and ended up on the floor in the road proper. Luckily there was no bus on the road at the time. Still I came away fairly bruised and battered, nothing too serious, and needed ?80 of repairs to my bike. I didn't relaise I was supposed to report this...
