From my experience of walking my bicycle, you are slower than usual when doing so, and it's pretty difficult to abruptly change direction in that situation. I would be curious to know what is the FOV of the camera that recorded her.
Yes, I also assumed that. Back when I rode a lot, I don't recall sprinting across roadways with my bike. Also, from the photo, she had a heavy bike, with a front basket. And yes, they ought to release the car's video.
