The grieving husband of an American tourist killed while on a cycling tour says he wants to thank the Tauranga community for their condolences and outpouring of support.
The 71-year-old New York woman died at the scene near the Tauranga Harbour Bridge onramp on Dive Crescent on Tuesday.
The couple had been travelling on the cruise ship Celebrity Solstice which berthed at the Port of Tauranga at 8am that day.
She was on a harbourside bike tour with several other passengers when the collision occurred at about midday.
Legacy Funerals director Mike Savage spoke to the Bay of Plenty Times on behalf of the dead woman's husband.
