I know it's ungracious of me to see it and think "you did this to yourselves" but mostly I'm just hoping for one to be put in down at my end of the street too. Here, the footpath narrows to a very constricted choke-point, and while there are those blue "trail ends or is shared" markers like in the photo, along with signs instructing the cyclists to dismount through that area, I have not seen a single cyclist do it.
What I have seen is cyclists speeding through there oblivious to the danger they're posing to others. Some have even squealed with fear as they weaved in and out of the pedestrians while going way too fast. In the last two weeks, I've had a number of close calls myself, and I'm getting more than a little frustrated with it. But dismounting is for pansies, apparently.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
These pretty yellow foxtail lilies (aka Eremerus) are up near the maypole:
They get absolutely covered in happy bees on a sunny day.
