It really doesn't matter what the law is. Common sense and common courtesy should be all that's required. Ride to the right side of the road. Being inconsiderate and/or arrogant can cost you. The cyclist is lucky he wasn't killed. There are those idiots out there (having a BAD day) that might intentionally run you over for being an a**hole.
Are you guys being serious? Imagine if you could run 30 miles an hour for 5-10 minutes at a time. Would you be running on the sidewalk? No. You'd have to be in the street. Now imagine you're on a run and maybe you're holding up traffic. Do you think it's ok if someone uses their car to hit you?
Common sense and common courtesy? Have you lost your mind? The car was overtaking the cyclist and decided he'd teach him a lesson.
How would you like it if your daughter was walking down the middle of a sidewalk and I just trampled her as I ran by because she didn't have any common sense or common courtesy and really had it coming to her.
