Thanks! I wouldn't say that it is though, just an old Canon Powershot.

I noticed this too. I haven't had a problem at all with the cable routing, but I ride fairly wide flat touring pedals most of the time, so the likelihood of my foot hitting it is low. The routing is weird, with three downtube braze-ons for the rear brake cable, but the cable is very solid.

I took my gear off the bike and weighed it, with a pair of aluminum touring pedals, using the extremely accurate and reliable bathroom scale method, after zeroing the scale on the concrete garage floor. The bike came in at exactly 30lbs every time. Not much of a surprise given that past models have weighed this much, it has two racks on it, and the tubes are super-huge for durability and carrying capacity - compare the Kona Sutra to Kona's steel fixie frame:
