The incident took place at the end of February, when Russian military forces invaded the city that is located on the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.
Investigative journalism group Bellingcat published the footage on social media on Tuesday and the video has gone viral. The visual investigations team of the New York Times has independently verified the video of the cyclist being killed by the Russian Army in Bucha.
"As soon as the cyclist rounds the turn, a Russian armoured vehicle fires several high-calibre rounds along the thoroughfare," reads the article.
"A second armoured vehicle fires two rounds in the direction of the cyclist. A plume of dust and smoke rises from the scene.
"Weeks later, after Russia withdrew from Bucha, a body in civilian clothes was filmed beside a bicycle in this precise location in a second video verified by The Times.

NSFW, Killing an old retired couple stopped in their car not near you is not war, just like killing someone on a bike in an urban setting down the street. Eliminating a threat is, I get that, but these cases are just plain murder for the sake of IMHO.
Maybe they thought it was Lance Armstrong.
LOL. They are looters. You’d be cheering if that was George Floyd on the bottom of that pile.
Moral equivalence is a favored tactic of the left. So sad to see solid conservatives duped by such nonsense. Our movement is splintering, marginalized and will soon be dust in the wind if we don’t reject the poison that Putinist Russia is.
Actually, delivering the daily gospel of non-interventionism to Neocons and Biden Republicans is my calling. So, as this attempt to spread liberal democracy via the clown show in the Ukraine unwinds, please stop by for continued tutelage. You need my help.
How is it murder? WTF were those old people doing driving their car into a war zone? Zelensky handed out AK47s, RPGs and molotovs to the civilians population, who have used it to great effect vs. Russian troops. Russians are going to fire upon ANY cars in their path. Period. "A charging chariot knows no rank" as Pharaoh's sister was told in Ten Commandments. Idiotic or just horrific bad luck to drive into a line of tanks.
Oh, so your okay with war crimes. Hypocrisy is your thing, I get it.
I agree, there should be boundary states between Russia and NATO countries. When Gorbachev disbanded the former Soviet Union one of the points Reagan agreed to was that no former Soviet block country would join NATO, yet here we are.
There needs to be a buffer, hell we went ballistic (nearly) when missiles were placed on Cuban soil way back when, yet here we were putting them at the time in Turkey.
Surrounding Russia is not in ours or their best interests for peace, we don’t need another cold war arms race like we had, not with China now ready to join in the fray as well.
Ain't it true! Roll out Poor Poor Pitiful me by Linda Ronstadt. Poooty Poot's favorite tune. Pooty's fake Tsarist Russia is always being victimized by its smaller, militarily inferior neighbors. All of whom remember when they were under the USSR boot. Pooty is senile and living in the Stalinist past. Pooty needs a check-up from the neck up.
BTW Psycho-Killer Joe Stalin is one of Pooty's heroes.
“ No talk about false flags, deception or falsified wars and body counts are allowed on social media, unless allegedly committed by Russia. And yet you roll out the propaganda daily. Why?”
———————————————————————————————————————————
………and yet you call anything Not Pro Putin Propaganda daily. Why?
Because it comes from the Biden administration and the media, both of whom were previously rejected by our FR Neocons and erstwhile warmongers.
I do not see the guy on the bicycle get hit.
I do see the armored vehicle fire BEFORE the guy makes a left turn and disappears from the aerial video.
Then, I see a street level video that shows a dead person and a mangled bike about 100 feet from the corner, and, 100 feet closer the armored vehicle.
If that is the same guy, then he committed suicide. He rode straight at the vehicle AFTER they shot at him.
Not one video, or eye witness account I have seen or believe comes from our famously untrustworthy media.
Mariupol is flatten……..do you believe the Ukrainians did that for propaganda like other nuts here?
Post the sources you are referencing.
Excuse us for no longer trusting the lying American Corporate Media.
LOL. You didn’t deny you’d be fine with that being George Floyd. “Hypocrisy is your thing. I get it.”
Putinist Russia is no friend of the US. Putinist Russia and their allies in Iran and the CCP are malignant forces in the world. Conservatives shouldn’t be their useful idiots.
"I do not see the guy on the bicycle get hit."
You saw him get shot at.
I come across many different sources and information daily.
I’m not sitting here all morning running down each little bit of info I see and get so you can waste my time and try to play down the source or discredit it.
This ain’t my first rodeo.
I’m not even trying to convince you of anything.
You’re already a proven Putin Lover.
Because if you really truly wanted to know what’s happening, you can find it.
Denial is a hard thing to overcome.
Looks like most if not all of the point blank killing of civilians was done by the Chechens - its work they love.
Some videos show them at work smiling happily as they kill UA soldiers and recapturing UA captured RGF vehicles
