Those look like solid metal bollard they aren't cycle route thermoplastic, if a cyclist hits those they will know about it!
The thermoplastic cycle path or shared space ones are cheaper and design to be more forgiving.
Other than that as it doesn't follow guidance it will confuse northern holiday makers
Good solid cast metal ones, none of that cheep plastic rubbish here to take you out.The thermoplastic cycle path or shared space ones are cheaper and design to be more forgiving.

It's safe enough as it's very rare to spot a cyclist there anyway.

I would think it is more of an issue of car passengers opening their doors into a cycle lane. As a driver I would always look in my mirror but not if I was getting out the other side, past a cursory look to check nobody is walking past the car.Someone realised the issue!

It's been mentioned above, but the implementation of this has been disastrous - from the consultation during lockdown where you couldn't object (you were provided with three options and nowhere to state your concerns) through to the fact that the double cycle lane stretches for only 200m. When you travel from the pier to the scout hut at the end of the lane, you can't actually contnue on the seafront path as there's a bylaw preventing cycles on the path.
Nothing really needed to be done to this area. Locals enjoyed parking up in the perpendicular bays to enjoy the sunset, far more cars fitted too. Parking spaces have now been pushed up and around surrounding roads, which have all promptly been eaten up by royal mail vans using them instead of parking in the nearby depot, and overall have made good flowing roads slower and meandering.
At a push, then a cycle lane could have been introduced in a more considerate manner, and more importantly the problem of legal but inconsiderate blue badge holders parking on the double yellows outside the cafes and causing serious bottlenecks as cars manouvered around them.
Unfortunately the madness of Bristol being anti-car seems to be leaking into the local surrounding towns, with planning and consultations for a variety of virtue signalling batty schemes, including dropping the B3133 through tickenham (a main route to bristol) to 20mph. All whilst letting the local bus services degrade to virtually nothing. The local councillors have really dug themselves into a hole with this project, and the wave of complaints don't look to be subsiding anytime soon. I wouldn't be suprised if it was all reversed later this year. If anything, people are going to look to vote them out.
