  • Sidewalk: Slow down, Ring a bell, Passing, On your left

As some who bikes and runs, I think the biker was likely at fault here. The golden rule of mixed-use trails is that bikers always yield to pedestrians. Yield means that you must be defensive enough in your actions such that unplanned actions can be accomodated. That clearly didn't happen in this case. I'm not saying the biker should be criminally charged or sued, but the biker was playing it too risky in my opinion.
