Despite Kamoot having this as a footpath, it is a sign posted cycle route below the Prince Edward Walk (which you cannot cycle along). It's a firm stone surface but quite overgrown. It didn't feel particularly safe with signs of drug use/ drinking along it. It is probably better to stick to cycling along the grand parade.
