TWO CYCLISTS are dead after a tandem bike tragedy on the Mornington Peninsula this afternoon.
The pair had been travelling near the intersection of Merricks and Stanleys roads, Merricks, when they collided with a truck at 2.30pm.
The first rider to die was a woman in her 20s.
Her cycling partner was to be flown to a Melbourne hospital by air ambulance but died.
Sen-Constable Melissa Seach told the Mornington Peninsula Leader that a truck hit the cyclists, with one dying at the scene, and the other a short time later.
