Saw the bike on the ground as i passed soon after. I think it was an orange bike which would be like a postmans bike alright. It was in an unusual place for an accident as there is a cycle lane there and plenty of room for cars and cyclists.

Thanks for posting that Alan. I hope you don't mind, but I've removed part of your post. It's best not to speculate about these things. I'm sure his identity will be given in due course.

I cycle a lot around the Ennis and Condell Roads, and this happened within a few hundred metres of my front door. It's a shock to be reminded of how dangerous the roads can be. R.I.P. to the man.

Don't mind at all!

I too, used to cycle around that area as I live nearby.
I stopped a few years ago as I felt nervous of the volume of traffic on the Ennis Road.

Condolences to the poor man's family. R.I.P.
