Perhaps they're just afraid of the traffic, or it could be that they
couldn't care less about pedestrians,

sometimes either or both the above, sometimes:

- they do care about pedestrians feelings - in the sense that they
want to annoy them.
- they want to show what bold rebels they are, not these sheep who
obey rules.
- they are wanabe motorists - they want to be seen to be treating
bikes as toys to play with until they get cars, to make sure no-one
mistakes them for real cyclists.

Lost me there! A search shows he is a footballer, but no obvious link
to cycling.

which I find strange. In my experience bicycling on the footpath is much
more dangerous also for the bicyclist than bicycling on the road.

But that's not the issue, is it?

It doesn't matter how "dangerous" it is for cyclists on the carriageway, it's
still a selfish offence to cycle along the footway or through a pedestrian area.

The answer to cyclist perception of "danger" is either to use a different
route or to not cycle at all on that journey.

I do use a different route.
I bike on the road.

That means that you don't have this overwhelming perception of imagined
"danger", such as is attributed to selfish footway users as cited by people
like Doug.

And if *you* can see the imaginary "dangers" for what they are...
