It's very hard for a cyclist to hit and run. On a bicycle, even when it's not your mistake, a mistake will usually end up killing or hurting the cyclist. It's not like a car where you can kill a non-trivial amount of people and see zero repercussions.

Actually, in most SF bike-pedestrian collisions resulting in pedestrian injury, the cyclist flees.

Example:

You say in most cases but then link to a single case. You can find a single case of anything on the internet. Doesn't make it meaningful.
I should have written most reported, since there can be any number of unreported cases. But the fact stands; you can check with SFPD and SFMTA. I could post 3 more examples, but you'd just claim that there are more that don't flee but somehow evade SFPD documentation.
