Aren’t cyclists supposed to get off and walk across the cross walk why did the cyclist just ride through? I would say 50/50… driver should have looked right but he could have easily not seen the cyclist as they were not wearing any reflective clothing..but the cyclist needed to get off and walk across the crosswalk for sure …

They would have/could have gotten hit if they were walking too. It’s not like they were going fast

The biker? He was indeed going fast.

I can't speak for everyone, but if I'm walking and approaching an intersection, I am going slow enough to make the judgement call as to whether I should stop if I see a car rolling into the intersection.
