As well as acting as a memorial, the ghost bike or ghost cycle, can be intended as a reminder to passing motorists to be aware of cyclists that also use the road.

The 61-year-old cyclist was travelling westbound - towards Morningside - when he was involved in an incident with a parked, grey Mitsubishi car.

The man was rushed to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for treatment, but he died at the hospital.
