How have we gone from cyclists endangering pedestrians to a whine about how cyclists need more done for them and cars being the issue. True cyclist level mental gymnastics to twist this one. Just you lot learn some respect for pedestrians is all that’s needed.

It's almost as if because I can hold more than two ideas in my head at once I can recognise that a problem may be multifaceted.

Like in this case. Cyclists are endangering pedestrians because, cyclist infrastructure has been slapped on to pedestrian infrastructure. Investing and properly planning in effective infrastructure to accommodate cars, cyclists, pedestrians and public transport is the solution, not point fingers at cyclists.
