I would put blame for this near miss on both the cyclist and motorist.
DO NOT ride on the sideWALK!
Not sure about the OP's town, but here in L.A. all left turn arrows have a pedestrian/sidewalk light. Nothing wrong with riding a sidewalk if you don't ride it stupidly.

I watched a motorist honk at a bunch of school kids crossing with the walk signal and sure enough he had a green arrow. (nice guy... NOT!) I see the same thing when walking my dog... green left turn signals while walk signals are lit. I have no idea what idiot traffic engineer came up with that novel idea. The guy should be shot.
That's weird.. never seen that here.
