Freak accident, I would think, although sometimes the bucks act crazy when in rut.
Bikes are pretty quiet. I might put a set of sleigh bells on my bike, so that they ring passively, for the deer to hear before whizzing right into them........so as not to startle them so much......they hear you coming and move back into the tree line, maybe.
Do you use McAllister park MUP to commute in from north SA ?
Lots of deer, indeed, out there.
Once found several baby rattle snakes crossing the trail many years ago there.
Ride lots, have fun, be safe.
