I think it could indeed kill you. It's rare, but certainly can happen:
"""
From 1996 to 2005, 11 pedestrians across New York City died after being struck by bicyclists.... 2006 to 2013, there were just four pedestrian deaths, according to the city’s Department of Transportation.

- pascalo 12y agoVery sad. However, you kind of made my point. That amounts to 0.8 pedestrian fatalities a year caused by cyclists, with a population of 8.4 million people.
- diyorgasms 12y agoThat could be partly because it is illegal in many jurisdictions in the United States for a cyclist to ride on the sidewalks. It is entirely possible that the low bike-on-pedestrian fatality rate is due in part to the law mandating that cyclists and pedestrians be segregated.
