Hidalgo was riding a Whizz e-bike when he was fatally struck by the driver of an FDNY truck who was responding to an emergency call.
This incident marks at least the second cyclist death this month, highlighting a troubling trend as cycling fatalities continue to rise.
Sackett Street, where Hidalgo was biking, has a painted bike lane that offers cyclists no physical protection, showing the dangers cyclists face.
With at least 21 cyclist deaths recorded this year, and last year's total at 30, the urgency for improved road safety measures grows.
