Bicycular Homicide?
This could get interesting.

New Yorkers will be relieved that at least she died in an environmentally friendly way.
What does the Mayor have to say about the results of this little transgression of his laws?
A friend in college was hit by a bicyclist and suffered a broken arm.
She was “walking while white.”
The San Francisco version of this crapweasel got probation and community service. No time in at all.
The scarf is enough to convict on.
Ban all bicycles!
So sad...sorry to hear this.
The cyclist had bragged about his speed records on a cyclist app/site, I’d read. Last I heard, he’d not made a statement, or apology, but had retained an attorney.
I got into a shouting match with a group of cyclists on the Golden Gate Bridge years ago. They were speeding across the bridge on the same sidewalk that Mrs. 40 and I made the unforgivable mistake of walking on. Dumbasses were doing at least 35mph weaving in and out of pedestrians. They had the same mentality that is shared among many cyclists, they think sidewalks are for bikes and pedestrians should get out of their way.
Do not blame the black guy. He seems to have a good background. What it boils down to is who had the right of way here. I have seen nothing on this so far. He has not been arrested so my suspicion is that he had the right of way
“Cyclist Jason Marshall, 31, stayed on the scene after crashing into Tarlov and has not been charged. Police say Marshall, a saxophonist from East Harlem, was riding in a bike lane when he swerved to avoid colliding with a group of pedestrians and hit Tarlov.”
I was struck by a cyclist, and suffered a severely broken shoulder.
The incident took place 14 months ago, and since then I have has 3 surgeries.
The law enforcement for the jurisdiction refuses to enforce the posted speed limit for the multi-purpose path.
This is a sad story but it points out that bikes are vehicles too. Cyclists sometimes blow through red lights at 20 or 30 mph as if the rules of the road don’t apply to them. Add a 180 to 200 lb man going at 30 mph and you have a dangerous situation.
I will be politically incorrect right now. Having worked in Manhattan for many years, I have almost been hit by black male cyclists at least five separate times. They do not heed traffic signals. They do not show any respect for pedestrians. They are very aggressive and like to scream at and intimidate pedestrians especially white ones. The aggression and boldness have greatly intensified since Obama took office.
This skell needs to be charged with murder. Kaiser Wilhelm has been noticeably quiet about this horror.
Most cyclists I see on public roads, violate every traffic rule, including stop signs.
Many bicyclists demand the rights and privileges of both automobiles and pedestrians but accept the responsibilities of neither.
