Hello Dan, 

I'm not sure why you're being aggressive. If you're not comfortable being challenged about the facts that you're debating, then I'd kindly suggest meeting up and discussing in person. We live on a busy island, where many of the cyclist, motorbikes and pedestrians are unaware of what the rules are, so providing this on OSM to ensure apps relying on this data improve the safety of the community isn't a political debate. Many cyclist come speeding down the Lea Valley Walkway into LCI/GLH, so it's paramount they're aware of the actual rules to avoid accidents.

@rskedgell, I think you'll find the Highway code does apply to walkways or shared spaces. See link below. Given this isn't a shared walkway, it's clearly illegal and if involved in a serious accident liability would fall on the cyclist.
