My guess is that "unknown reasons" = coming off the don/lakeshore end of the lakeshore trail, and heading across Parliament to cut through the Distillery for the best direct commuter route to downtown via Esplanade. I used to use the MUP to head downtown along the Lakeshore, as much as I hate admitting it, I had resorted to following the sidewalk through the rail overpass as visibility down there is horrible.
Note - this is an example of poorly planned "bike routes".. that MUP ends fairly abruptly at Cherry (unless you take the windy southern route that requires crossing Lakeshore Blvd and back), and the closest suggested "bike route" (labelled as 6 on the Toronto Cycling Map) goes onto a sidewalk through a park!
Having said all that -- I hope the cyclist in question is ok + heals quickly.
