I'm just here to watch the flood of redditors blaming the guy on the bicycle for being hit......in a crosswalk. 

Edit: And within moments I have numerous replies all telling me why the cyclist is at fault. Am I clairvoyant or are videos of cyclists/pedestrians being hit by cars just catnip for morons? Who knows.

Cyclists regularly get hit on cross walks because they go too fast on them. You can't see and stop for a pedestrian in time if they are going faster than walking pace. There are reasons why cyclists aren't allowed on cross walks.

Yeah but look how fast he's going. Much, much faster than a mere unencumbered mortal. It was inevitable, really.
