Hide AdPolice are are now trying to piece together exactly what occurred and are asking anybody who saw him before he died to get in touch with them as soon as possible.
Sgt Marc Glass, of the Lancashire Police TacOps team, said: “First and foremost our thoughts are very much with the family and friends of the cyclist, at what is a truly awful time for them.
“We are now working hard to establish what happened, though at this point we do not believe there were any other vehicles involved or that the man’s death is suspicious.
"However, we would like to hear from anybody who was in the area and saw him before he died, or anyone who has dashcam footage which captured part of his journey."
Anybody with information is asked to call us on 101, quoting log number 837 of August 23rd.
