There are many reasons why a jogger might use the road, but safety and joint health can be primary reasons. As far as I know, it is perfectly legal to jog and/or walk on the side of the road in most areas. How does the "get the f*** on the sidewalk!" comment make you feel as a law abiding cyclist?
As far as I know, only
IF there is
NO sidewalk present.
IF there is a sidewalk present then pedestrians belong there and
NOT in the bike lane.
And how many joggers/runners/walkers do you think are silently or not cursing the cyclist for "ruining" their run/jog/walk simply for having been in their bike lane?
