I saw two guys really getting into it about exactly this spot a couple of days ago. A cyclist was riding down that pathway at high speed (he rode the whole stretch between bridges, not the just portion to clear the giant puddle), and blew by a pedestrian in a pretty narrow section. Pedestrian wasn't impressed, started yelling at him. Cyclist circled back, and they were in a fairly heated shouting match as I was passing by.
Pedestrian was right though...if you're going to cut through the pathway on your bike, you need to give leeway to pedestrians. It doesn't just automatically become your pathway because there's an obstacle on yours.
