Killed Auckland cyclist Warrick Jones is being remembered as a family man who had great love for those around him.
Jones, 50, was killed while cycling in Belmont when he collided with a truck at the intersection of Lake Rd and Montgomery Ave on Tuesday.
A prominent member of theNorth Harbour Triathlon Club, Jones has been remembered by club president Alex Waite as someone who worked hard at his life as a triathlete, but always put his wife and three children first.
"He's been at the club for the last few years and is just a lovely guy; always has a really positive attitude and a hard worker," Waite said.
"But his family came first. Put it this way - a lot of us like to train a lot. But he would regularly reschedule his training to spend time with his family."

Waite said Jones had been a member of the club for about four years and worked as a cabin crew member for Air New Zealand.
But when Covid-19 started to affect international borders, it became a chance for the 50-year-old to focus on training.
