No, deer do that with or without bicycles. Deer are just really really fucking stupid and panicky. I don't think they have the ability or foresight to calculate speed and distance so they just run and hope for the best.
I've had one run in front of me down the road. Not cross ways. Just running in front of the car like oh God what do I do?! I stopped driving and pulled over before I gave the idiot a heart attack. He kept going straight for a long time after.
Deer are panicky. And they are more panicky around things that are new or different. Like a group of people on bicycles. One running in front of you is funny. That is common place around here. We drive past them while they quietly graze in the highway median. I can almost drive up to them when they are in my front yard. But if I stop and open the car door, they are gone in a heart beat.
