According to the first-hand account, the bike was using the *sidewalk and entering the crosswalk.* If that's true, then that's not "wrong way down a one-way street" or "wrong way in the bike lane." At that point the cyclist is in a legally protected zone. Cars have to stop for bikes in crosswalks even if it's right next to a bike lane. Kids use sidewalks and crosswalks because it's safer. Just because it's an adult (I presume) doesn't mean cars get to crunch you. </div></div>
