A BICYCLIST struck by a vehicle in Chinatown nearly two months ago has died of his injuries, police said Thursday.

Edouard Menuau, 59, was pedaling east on Canal St. when he was struck by a 2011 Ford Escape about 6:40 a.m. on June 26.

The vehicle was headed north on the Bowery and collided with the bicycle in the intersecti­on, witnesses told police.

Menuau had blown through a stop light when he was hit, police said.

The bicyclist was thrown from his two-wheeler onto the roadway and suffered a massive head injury.

Medics rushed him to Bellevue Hospital Center, where he died on Aug. 14.

Menau lived in the New York City Rescue Mission homeless shelter six blocks from where he was struck, according to cops.

A 67-year-old man driving the Ford remained at the scene and was not charged, cops said.
