This guy, however, can screw off: https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/163zr06/re_earlier_post_please_dont_run_in_the_bike_lane/
It's more acceptable if the lane is wide enough to overtake and/or they're running at a decent clip, i.e. 10-15 mph. But jogging is usually more like 5-10 mph.
I agree, joggers aren't really a problem at all. They move faster than walkers and overtaking them is a non issue.
I do have a problem with large families using our new wide dedicated bike lanes as their own personal sidewalk though. They really tempt me to fit a car horn onto my bike again... That's even considering I'm someone who prefers to slow down and wait behind pedestrians, instead of ding-dinging my bell to ask for passing space on shared paths
The runner is occupying the whole lane though and they have headphones on preventing the cyclist from getting their attention.
