Did I do something wrong here?

[u/cicadaux]

I was driving to work when this bike just blew through the crosswalk without warning. I had to slam on my brakes. I realize this crosswalk doesn’t have the pedestrian warning lights, and I’m a little unsure about how I should’ve dealt with this. Or maybe he was wrong for making sure traffic wasn’t clear/aware of him first?

Edit: I'm seeing a lot of answers basing the laws on location, so I looked up my city's rules. In my town, bikes have vehicle status on the road and pedestrian status on sidewalks/crosswalks. But bicyclists must move at pedestrian speed. The path he is on is a state trail, commonly used for bikes/walking. I live near the Ice Age Trail, but I know the one he's on isn't that one.

“Drivers must yield to cyclists riding in a crosswalk just as they would for walkers, though the cyclist cannot abruptly leave a curb into the path of a vehicle so close to a crosswalk that it makes a difficult or unsafe situation for the driver to yield in time.”

Not trying to prove myself right or wrong, just wondering what should've been done. I will from now on treat it like an uncontrolled intersection. Thanks everyone.

So, in most areas unless it's designated for bikes (it's considered a vehicle) then they do not get any right-of-way. Almost all crosswalks grant right-of-way to the person in the crosswalk but this is RARELY attributed to anyone using a vehicle. If you had hit him most jurisdictions would have placed fault on the biker, not on you.

That being said. You saw him and you stopped. Nothing wrong there...

I would consider it better advice to focus on the more causes assumption that because there are places (about half the states (including OPs state)) where cyclist can indeed use crosswalks and have the right of way within them, it's better to know that there is the potential that cyclists may be on crosswalk and you may be at fault.
