WRONG!

The reason why the guy didn't stop to see if she was OK was because he was a 
prat as you said not because he was a cyclist. He could just as easily have 
knocked into her whilst running on foot and not stopped.

NO! NO! NO!

Inconsiderate morons are inconsiderate morons. Some ride bikes, some drive 
cars and some populate mailing lists but it doesn't follow that all cyclists, 
motorists or whatever are inconsideerate morons just because some behave that 
way. Honestly are you just trolling or what?
