The cyclist was southbound on Castro at Market, coming down the hill.
He may have run a red light.  The pedestrian, 65 years old, was
originally listed as having life-threatening injuries, but is now
expected to survive.

Cyclist v. pedestrian is of course rare, and gets disproportionate
news coverage because of its rarity.  But really, it should never
happen. If you're biking in a way that it's even possible for you to
hit a slow-moving target like a pedestrian, you're doing it wrong.
