Pushing someone off the side of a building is probably considered a
crime. You could say that the person should not be standing where he can
be pushed but I'd not like to defend that in court even if the person

I'm unable to come up with an application of it in the case of the bicycle, but
"failure to act" may actually make it a crime to step out of the path of someone
on a rooftop charging at you....r
