it's entirely possible, and i'm sure it's happened at least once, that someone on a bike does something unsafe and illegal, causes a motorist to swerve, and the result is a motorist fatality. this can and does happen (rarely) when a cat or dog runs into the street, so it can happen with a bicycle.
of course, a bicyclist is not a serious threat to motorists' safety... while motorists are very often threats to bicyclists' safety.
