Honestly seems more like an art project than a legitimately useful-for-any-purpose bridge - like it’s beautiful and makes the neighborhood nicer, but also… It cuts maybe 30 seconds off of the walking route?
If anything it probably makes the biking route take a bit longer, since you still have lots of walkers to dodge but a lot less room to do so, and on a curvier path with some unknown-to-me material that’s probably not as smooth as pavement.

That’s why I posted the picture, there’s really no reason for cyclists to go on the bridge, it might save them 30 seconds. The article is click bait
