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.

Matier & Ross's column today says there's surveilance video of the crash which shows Bucchere is a liar liar pants on fire about a couple of things he said in his blog post.

Video of fatal S.F. crash may contradict bicyclist
The video shows Sutchi Hui of San Bruno and his wife stepping into the intersection at Castro and Market streets just as Chris Bucchere rides in from the north side, said a law enforcement source who has viewed the footage.
"The biker is going fast and looks like he is hunched down. He hits the victim dead-on. There is never a moment where he looks like he is trying to slow down," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because police are still investigating the March 29 crash.
