Cyclist kills pedestrian (again)?

But this *cannot* happen (we've been told that so many times here).

But still, if the cyclist had been driving a car, it would have been
worse.


Yes, if the cyclist had been driving a car in such circumstances there
would have been 5 dead and 25 injured.


Even if there were only one pedestrian there?


Well, over time, the ratio is normally something like 200 to 1 but in
this case it seems the rider was taking part in a publicly sanctioned
race on a route lined with people spectating. So unless people and
pedestrians are different things, I think it is fairly safe to assume
there was more than one.
