I did not want the cyclist to have to "play chicken" and guess the safest way to get around me in the bike lane, so I would get back onto the sidewalk. I wish more joggers would do that to avoid bike-jogger collisions. An on-street bike lane is not the same as a MUP separated from car traffic which is shared by bikes and pedestrians.
