It's not up to the cyclist to feel safe enough to move over and *let* someone pass. The cyclist has the right to one lane, not the entire path (or road).
*IF* the cyclist could see something the cart driver could not then that *might* excuse an illegal move to prevent an accident but nothing that was said so far indicates that was the case. If the cyclist simply decided "you're not passing me today, not happening" and blocked the second lane then he/she was in the wrong and it's lucky for the cyclist that his/her actions didn't cause the situation to escalate into something worse.
We all (cyclist, car driver, cart driver) should be calling out bad behavior not trying to defend it.
