So, following up on the request for information I posted earlier, it appears the cyclist in question was involved in an apparent hit and run crash.
About 8:15 a.m., a passer-by reported a bicyclist in a ditch in the 12600 block of N Midwest Boulevard, just north of NE 122, Patty said.
The bicyclist, identified only as a white male, was pronounced dead at the scene, she said.
"This appears to be a hit-and-run," Patty said.

I still find it absolutely disturbing and wrong that this kind of incident can be referred to as an accident. Crash, attack or vehicular homicide all seem appropriate, but when it comes to a hit-and-run I can hardly think that the word accident applies.
It still appears that the cyclist has not yet been identified, so if you can provide additional information please contact the police.

Cyclists in OKC metro HAVE to do something about this. We need to organize and generate publicity about our responsibilities and our RIGHTS on OKC and OK County roads. In my many years of cycling here in OKC I have been threatened, honked at, flipped off, and intentionally swerved at by aggressive drivers, and have had my fair share of drivers who are otherwise oblivious to their surroundings.
Although I don’t know where to begin, I would love to participate in well-organized cycling advocacy to increase “Share the Road” signage, paint bike lanes, and raise awareness of cycling in and around Oklahoma City.
AND, we should loudly implore law enforcement personnel to aggressively prosecute acts of aggression toward cyclists and charges for injuries or death from motor vehicle-bicycle collisions.
