In this context, an "unspecified pedal cyclist" denotes that the cyclist's exact status, such as whether they were a driver or passenger, has not been stated or is not determinable. This injury may range in severity depending on factors like the speed of the colliding vehicles, the cyclist's protective gear, and the nature of the impact. The damage often involves the musculoskeletal system, potentially leading to fractures, dislocations, or sprains.
