There is no evidence in the report that the victim was

Well, it means that the person was going slowly and carefully. It is
only possible to attack that sort. A woman too.

It could be just sloppy reporting by a motorist.
The victim was most likely cycling along the edge of the carriageway and was pushed over into the part of the carriageway used by 'traffic'.
The police are calling the cyclist the victim and absent evidence to the contrary we must assume the victim was cycling legally.
