- BY THOMAS TRACY

A bicyclist pedaling along the Brooklyn Bridge was seriously injured when he was struck by a car Thursday, police said.

The 39-year-old victim was riding his bicycle toward Brooklyn on the bridge’s roadway when he was struck by a black Kia going the same direction at 1:45 a.m.

Bicyclists are supposed to travel along the Brooklyn Bridge’s pedestrian path, not the roadway.

The cyclist was thrown from his bike, landing on the windshield of the Kia and breaking the glass.

Medics rushed the bicyclist to Bellevue Hospital with serious injuries.

The driver remained at the scene. No charges were immediatel­y filed.

The NYPD’s Collision Investigat­ion Squad was investigat­ing.
