    Police appeal for help in identifying cyclist who died yesterday, according to STV website.
    "He was riding a red and white Peugeot racing bike and wearing a yellow jacket, blue and yellow cycle top and black cycling shorts."
    "It is understood the cyclist became unwell before the accident."

    An update...I was talking to someone who witnessed this accident and as a result has been kept posted by the police of any outcomes. It appears that the cyclist had not had any kind of medical problem but that he actually hit a pothole which caused him to lose control of his bike. People remarked on the size of the offending hole at the time, and it has since been filled in. So it was the appalling road surface that was the problem.
