It looks like it was a totally protected walkway, so cars aren't an issue. Of course, cyclists coming at each other have the same problems that a car and a cyclist coming at each other have -- but the speeds are usually much lower and so it's a smaller deal.
And this is a pretty narrow walkway -- it looks just wide enough for one pedestrian to pass another, or a cyclist to pass a pedestrian. I guess the real solution, short of making it wider (probably very difficult) is just to ban cyclists ...
But if the victim's story is what really happened, and this really was about the salmoning -- the guy who did it really had no cause to do it. This would be the most mild sort of salmoning possible.
