POLICE today issued an E-fit image of a cyclist whose identity has remained a mystery since he suffered fatal injuries in a collision on a Derbyshire road last Thursday, July 31.
It occurred on a dual carriageway near Dronfield. As well as the E-fit, there is a picture of the brand of bike he was riding and a picture of his helmet and shoes.
The incident happened on the southbound carriageway of the A61 at about 3.20pm.
It involved a Citroen C3 and the cyclist, who was riding a black and yellow Carrera TDF bicycle.
The cyclist suffered serious head injuries and was taken by air ambulance to Northern General Hospital, in Sheffield, where he later died.
The man was white, 55-65 years old, 5ft 6ins to 5ft 8ins tall with short, light brown hair.
He had no tattoos but had a small scar to his abdomen. He was wearing black Lycra shorts and red cycling shoes.
He was wearing a white t-shirt which said 'Barnsley Metrodome Triathlon 1990' and there was a sticker on the back of his helmet that said 'Friar Tuck Triathlon 2002'. The race number was 100. This suggests that he may have been active in taking part in triathlons at some point.
Anyone with information on the identity of the man should call Derbyshire police on 101, quoting incident 451 of July 31.
