CLIVE, Iowa (AP) — Police say a bicyclist has died along the Greenbelt Trail in Clive.

Police say the death occurred Thursday, and the trail was still blocked off Thursday afternoon as officials investigated.

Police say that as they were investigating, a family member who had been riding with the man returned to the scene to see why the man never caught up. Police say that person was able to identify the man, whose name has not yet been revealed by police.
