Most likely a court would side with a pedestrian and say that the bicyclist should have slowed way down when approaching/overtaking any pedestrian/runner on a MUP.
It might not be fair to the bicyclist but that's what I think would most likely happen.
Btw, I've had a few instances around here when a high-speed bicyclist on a rial-trail has caused another slower bicyclist to crash as the slower bicyclist tried to avoid the high-speed bicyclist.
Cheers
