Yes as a driver you should anxiously check for cyclists - just like you should check for kids and other people that can be killed by your driving.

I teach my kids that their number one job when driving is to not kill anyone.

Pedestrians don't really use the road, they cross it from time to time (of course we should all be extra careful about them). Bikes can be everywhere, pass you from behind, between lanes, pass red lights at high speed etc etc. I don't want to bump one into incoming traffic.
