Wow, did you folks even look at the presentation? The cyclist stopped at the intersection. He was as visible as a pedestrian. He was hit by a car that failed to stop for a stop sign.
While it may be illegal, in some places, to ride a bike on the sidewalk, the cyclist did indeed stop and presented himself in the proper place. The motorist was at fault for failing to stop, period.
