Sergeant Dave Waddell said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died.
“Our inquiries are ongoing and we are appealing for anyone who was in the area and who witnessed the crash to get in touch.
“I would also appeal to anyone who was driving in the area and who may have dashcam footage which could assist to contact us.
“We are particularly keen to trace the occupants of two vehicles we believed passed the cyclist just prior to the crash.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
