re: Who was in the wrong here? (Cyclist vs pedestrian)

That might actually be a path where you're supposed to stay on one side if you're walking.

That is the case in many bike / pedestrian walkways. Cyclists ride on the right and pedestrians stay to the left. But even if that was the case here, they were both on the wrong side and cyclist always yields to pedestrians anyway.

No doubt cyclist. Cyclists must follow the rules of the road as if they are a vehicle. Albeit, they are not on a road, but rules of the road should be followed on a path as well. We are living in a society here.

There’s a history between those two.

Pedestrian - while in the right, could have done better to not be a total dipshit and stepped aside

It's one of those situations where, sure, it was an arse hole move.

But it was an arse hole move I wholeheartedly support and applaud.

It's pretty simple.

I would think the cyclist, since he was on the wrong side of the pathway, and pedestrians should have the right of way.

We were standing in formation at FT Lewis, WA one morning and a cyclist solder (Permanent staff guy, supposedly going to work for the day) was coming down the main road and ran right through our formation. He was going flat out, while looking at the ground, peddling like crazy when he hit us. Sent three guys to the hospital mostly for stitches and minor abrasions, bruises, etc.

I think they court martialed him. At the time, the joke was for destruction of Government property.

Poor dogs. They both should get arrested for animal cruelty

I'm usually #teamcyclist, but cyclist yield to pedestrians

but goddamn do both of them sound insufferable

That would be my guess.
