dog mess attack
I can already predict the comments on the news item in the local press, which will be of the; cyclists don't pay road tax, or lycra louts variety. Sounds like this woman may have anger management issues:

Does not compute! If you ride a lot you're going to be boiling your chain every week or every fortnight.

You're right--that was the other one. The relevance is that people keep complaining about how damaging the platform is, yet they carry on using it.

Sadly there are plenty around like Ms Curall who are wholly unwilling to grasp the concept of "shared" use, to whom your presence on a bike is a red rag to a bull no matter how carefully you ride. Tooting & Wandsworth recently had to fight off an attempt to get rid of cycle lanes after a well organised campaign by Curall types.
Anyway, time to sigh and move on
The best bit is "lots of young men with powerful bikes"
More evidence, as if we needed it, that mixed use paths don't work.
I'd say they do work, provided they've been properly designed, and on the assumption of common sense and courtesy from all parties... riding at sensible speed, walking and riding on one side of the path, and being/making others aware of the situation.
Unfortunately there are people lacking in these abilities, and there are others who will make sensational generalisations when something goes wrong, leading to segregation and similar idiot-proofing being the only viable option(s).
