I'm half-way with you here, my friend. The OP states that the cyclist "chose to play chicken". I don't see how one person can play chicken by himself. It takes two.
I walk facing traffic. But I do so in order to see what's coming at me, and I do that so I can step aside.
As a bicyclist, I prefer to see the walker facing me, then I can assess whether or not he/she sees me, or is engrossed in a cell phone.
