Apparently in this case the pedestrian infrastructure is explicitly also there for bicycles. Mixing bicycles and pedestrians is not a good idea. OP calls this “good infrastructure” in the title. It would be good infrastructure, if the bicycles had their own lane, there clearly is enough space for that.

In low density areas that don’t see a huge amount of either traffic, there’s no reason not to mix them. It works just fine in plenty of places.
Still, the space is there.
