Probably because so far as I can tell, they're only giving money to whoever finds the cyclist... Unless they offered an earlier reward for anybody who had seen anything.


Yes, it was wrong of the cyclist to ride off like he did. But he may not have realized the extent of the injuries that Steed sustained as a result of the collision.
It's exactly why he shouldn't have run off. Something tells me he may have been in a hurry to get out because he knew it was serious.
But then I have to wonder, if these people saw him and heard him say that he was trying to avoid a car - why didn't they stop him - and why didn't they say they saw him in the first place?
