I used to use that path for interval training before I moved back to London a year ago. It's long, straight, sheltered from wind and with few interuptions so provides a perfect traffic-free place to train.
It's also fucking dangerous.
There are pedestrians casually strolling along enjoying the view. There are dogs running around off leads. There are parents riding along with their young children wobbling along behind them, discovering the joy of cycling for the first time.
...and there are road cyclists hurtling along the narrow path at 25-30mph.
I'm surprised the council has never done anything about this as I've witnessed quite a few near misses whilst using it.
