Thing is, you're cycling on a pavement, mixing with peds isn't something that we should do in the first place, especially with cycle lane as narrow as a fixie skidder handlebar.
The island hasn't even got a cycle path until you got onto the other side of the road.
Then before you enter the tunnel, there's a footbridge in the way with another slightly small gap, again mixing with peds.
Although the tunnel appear big, you're still mixing with peds, especially at the exit when the tunnel get narrower, and have a chance of collision if a peds appear from the right side.
it does not help that at time this area get congested with peds.
etc. etc.
basically it's just cycling on pavement, except you're allowed to.
