Are you serious? That doesn't sound possible. I mean, a car can
collide with a bicycle and cause no damage to the driver. The
psychotic driver can have the twisted pleasure of having hurt or
killed a cyclist with little more than an insurance claim to fix
the cosmetic damager to his vehicle.
A cyclist, OTOH, will generally do a similar amount of damage to
himself as he does to the pedestrian he collides with. So I would
think there is a certain amount of self-preservation that prevents
cyclists from colliding with pedestrians.
