I know that path, and really is the best advertisement for separated cycle tracks that there could be. If you dont know Union St, its not immediately obvious and if you dont know that its there as a pedestrian, a cyclist could easily come up behind you and scare the bejesus out of you - similarly its often people walk 3 abreast along the footpath/cycle track essentially blocking any cyclists path and forcing them into the oncoming traffic - which often mounts the pavement to get around the occasional parked car etc. Then halfway along the street it disappears into a new paved area in front of shops. Carnage. When Im cycling, I make a point to avoid Union St, Boris bikers however, love it.

I record my trips to work every day, and these legions of pavement cyclists are simply not visible in any of my footage. Not saying that they dont exist, but I'm not seeing the hoards you alledge, and neither is my camera. Perhaps google caught the exception, not the rule.
