Watch Out ! Cyclist speeding across crossing

I always wonder what the law will say if a cyclist cycling across a pedestrian crossing gets hit by a car. Is the cyclist a pedestrian or is he a motorist ?

Out of convenience mentality, in order not to dismount, a cyclist typically cycles across a pedestrian crossing assuming they have the right of way. This is so dangerous, especially at night when visibility is not as good and when drivers are less alert after a day's work ...and moreover their speed is much faster than a typical pedestrian crossing the road.

Another issue of why can't you wait for me to get across or are our motorists just plain impatient ?
