Although there's no mention that the junction itself was the location, I'd be quite apprehensive of cycling around (or indeed through) Tingley roundabout.
My thoughts are with the victim's family. I hope the five-o catch the culprit.

Very near to me condolences to his family, that roundabout is terrifying on a weekday, it has a mind boggling amount of direction signs and traffic lights, I've lost count of the times I've been cut up when in the car, it's a paragon of bad design, very busy and too fast traffic rushing to and from M62 and the White Rose shopping Centre.

@Berk on a Bike @DRM - it happened near the Village hotel, between Morley and the Village hotel junction. Looks like he was hit from behind.

I use the roundabout quite a lot on the bike; you've definately got to keep your wits about you. Using the bike/pedestrian section seems worse.

At the moment I've been avoiding the roundabout on my commute for the past couple of months and taking a slightly slower route into/out of Leeds which has a lot less traffic but feels safer than using Tingley roundabout and the ring road down towards the White Rose Centre.
