That's totally unrealistic.

Everyone knows that the pedalcyclist would be long gone before the police ever
got there and, since his bike has no license plates, nobody would ever be able
to identify him. Witnesses would give the description of a man wearing tight
black Spandex pants, a brightly colored shirt, and a bike helmet - the
proverbial needle in the haystack.

Like the sloth driver who causes a head-on collision between two normal drivers,
the pedalcyclist will just thread his way through the debris and be on his merry
way, free to kill another day.

Yeah you moron, like a guy on a bike has -ever- killed or even disturbed
anyone in a car.
