The beachside bike lane

AFTER walking my grandchildren aged five years and twins of nearly two years along Worthing seafront, between the Half Brick and Worthing town centre, I would like to know why the bike lane was put next to the beach.
The children playing on the stones have to cross the bike lane to bring stones and shells to show me, while I am pushing the pram.

Although cyclists have the right of way,they should have some consideration for pedestrians and children enjoying our beach front walk.

Why was the cycle lane not put next to the road, so we would only cross once to get on to the beach?

Our children would be safe to play on the stones without the danger of being knocked over by a speeding cyclist.

If the people using the promanade actually bothered to look at whether they were walking in the cycle lane or the pedestrian lane, there wouldn't be an issue.
I have seen folks just ambling around, as if they had no actual clue where they were going, in the cycle lane.
If they can't be bothered to look out, then they deserve to get hit by a bike!
Next you'll be asking why the road is right next to the promanade huh?
Always looking for someone else to blame for pure carelessness. Tut tut.
