The male was crossing the road without a green light in his favour, and was not on a zebra crossing. That means he is solely responsible for making sure there is no traffic coming, except where that traffic might be itself breaking the law, such as doing 60mph in a 30mph zone round a bend and couldn't be seen or anticipated by the pedestrian.
That's what we teach children. Look both ways (etc.) and only cross when it is safe to go.The cyclist wasn't turning into a side road, where a pedestrian would have had priority, or anything like that. The cyclist was not obliged either legally or morally to give way.
If you believe otherwise, what you are saying is that any pedestrian can walk out in front of any traffic whenever and wherever they like and the traffic has to stop for them whatever the conditions and/or speed limit. Which is barking.
