Did the cyclist stay there, and did someone give him a hefty ticket for riding on the sidewalk? I know this is a side issue now, but a friend in New York City has fought for years to get enforcement to keep bikes in the street. He was hit a few years ago, literally, by a messenger who formed a fist and punched him in the face as he passed by.

Give Pat all of the hugs and good wishes from us that she can stand. A MOAB-sized hug is pretty substantial, so don't scare her with it.
