Why your title reads as "man" but its a cyclist?

Because

hits man cycling across zebra crossing​

reads better than

hits cyclist cycling across zebra crossing​

Why your title reads as "man" but its a cyclist?

TS does not want to find himself stuck with a noun-verb repetition i.e. like Grab driver driving or boxer boxing; replacing the noun with a general descriptor i.e. man, girl, person or changing the verb for an action i.e. jumping or swimming, improves the flow.

You do know many will be playing this song if its a cyclist instead of a man right?

If our government implement law to get all cyclists to dismount from their bicycle at all pedestrians crossing and push their bicycle to cross road this will not have happened. Pedestrians have the right of road at pedestrian crossing not cyclists.

If our government implement law to get all cyclists to dismount from their bicycle at all pedestrians crossing and push their bicycle to cross road this will not have happened. Pedestrians have the right of road at pedestrian crossing not cyclists.

The law in many other countries require cyclists to dismount in order to qualify as pedestrians at a traffic crossing.
