That cyclist should be shot. Regardless of whose fault it was, and
the article doesn't say, the cyclist should at the very least have
stopped to make sure the dog was OK. Despicable, cowardly behaviour,
IMO.

Maybe. maybe not.

What if he's frightened of dogs (and/or irate dog owners)?

That is meant as a serious point.

Okay, fair enough. I think its an unfair position to take, since a
motorist would never get away with leaving the scene of a serious
accident because he was 'scared'. But, nevertheless, I accept that its
possible. So, once free of the immediate area, why didn't the cyclist
phone the law shop and tell them of the incident?
