You can definitely get extra long SDS bits, I've got one of these.
https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-sds-plus-shank-masonry-drill-bit-10mm-x-1000mm/413hyIt wasn't actually that unwieldy to use, I think your main problem will be making a big enough hole to get the drill and bit in to start off.

You can get SDS bits that are well over 1m long, so no problems there.
You'd need to dig up lots of garden to drill horizontally... maybe drill at an angle instead?
You'd want the cable/housing to be weather-proof and ideally armoured.

Beware all your services. Gas elec, water, phone and waste.

Perhaps a stupid question, but the could the bike not just be parked in the bottom right corner of the picture, thus keeping footpaths etc. clear, and allowing a cable to be tucked in to the edge of the flowerbed and pop out exactly where it's needed?

Just saw this:
why has nobody thought about including pele, sly Stallone, and Michael Caine? With John Warl as the foreman?

Bright ideas and simple solutions wanted.
tl;dr is there an easy way to drill a 90cm tunnel under paving
I can work out how to run the cable neatly around the outside. The problem is how to get a cable across the footpath? I'm wondering if there is some sort of extra long sds drill bit I could rent/buy to span the 90cm path, then dig a hole in the bed either side and drill underneath, possibly running a bit of metal or plastic conduit to maintain the structure of the hole.
