The pedestrian had already started crossing so technically had the right of passage, but the cyclist should've slowed down in caution anyway.
Even so, both a bit careless.
The pedestrian will think twice when he next crosses a road.
The cyclist will probably do it again tomorrow. :lol
The cyclist couldn't have seen him in time because of the big vehicle he was... WASN't undertaking (since it's a bicycle lane). The pedestrian, when having decided to cross where he shouldn't, should at least make sure it is safe, he's not making anyone brake hard, or change direction quickly - which he didn't. The cyclist should have hit the brakes - there was the time.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
