Howard Smith Wharves management has bowed to pressure from cycling groups and agreed to resurface a pathway cyclists claim is unsafe for riders.

Brisbane cyclists had urged operators of the popular eatery precinct to pave or concrete over the cycling and pedestrian walk rather than simply resurfacing the compressed granite.

Following queries from Brisbane Times, a Howard Smith Wharves spokeswoman said the granite path would be covered with asphalt.

"We will be removing the existing surface finish and replacing with black asphalt – similar to that of a suburban street," she said.
