Default SFGate stirs the pot with "Hayward cyclist"

[Also Posted to ebbc-talk and sfbike]

=v= I'd say this is a new low. The _San_Francisco_Chronicle_
milked an extremely rare bike/ped death for six weeks. Long
after they'd run out of facts, they published speculations,
but eventually they ran out of stuff to make people angry
about bicyclists.

=v= Here's what they ran yesterday:

Hayward cyclist hits, kills pedestrian:

If you follow the link, the story is about a MOTORcyclist.
Never before in my life have I seen "cyclist" to mean somebody
on a motorcycle. (I've certainly seen "biker" for bicyclist,
but that's entirely different.)
