Second, I believe she moved over as he was attempting to pass. But its not completely clear whether he was passing on the road or on the sidewalk. Had this occurred on the sidewalk, the assumed guilt is on the cyclist. Once you see the jogger you need to give them the clearance to pass.
i'd say you are quite incorrect here. the cyclist was in front of the jogger, which meant the cyclist had the right of way, and thus, no duty to accommodate the jogger. in any case, just as in a motor vehicle, the "vehicle" behind approaching the "vehicle" in front has the duty to approach (and pass) safely.
