Is a bicycle classified as a pedestrian?

Because bicycle riders can be treated as both a pedestrian and/or a vehicle, many states have laws that are in direct relation to the bicyclist. One example of this would be that it is a common requirement that a bicyclist keeps to the far right of a lane at all times unless they are getting ready to make a left turn.

Who is at fault if a cyclist hits a pedestrian?

Legal Rights of Pedestrians Hit by Bicycles Establishing liability requires proving the cyclist breached their duty of care, directly causing the pedestrian's injuries. Even if the pedestrian is partially at fault, they can still sue for damages, though compensation may be reduced proportionally.
