Velazquez rode his tricycle every day, joking it was his secret to a long life, according to a GoFundMe set up to cover funeral expenses. The fundraiser described him as a father, grandfather and friend who attended mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Windsor, where he was known for his smiles, handshakes, prayers and encouragement. "He believed deeply in helping others, often putting the needs of family, neighbors and even strangers above his own," the fundraiser said.

The male cyclist was discovered unresponsive at the scene at Batterstown, Ballivor, on Friday, September 12. He was taken to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown where he was subsequently pronounced deceased. A man, aged in his 40s, who was arrested as part of the investigation, is currently detained at a Garda station in the Eastern Region where he can be detained for up to 24 hours.

An FDNY firetruck struck and killed a cyclist outside a park in Queens on Saturday. The victim's body was underneath the hulking truck and they were pronounced dead on the scene.
