The cyclist who was among two people killed by the driver of an out-of-control car was remembered as a longtime safe streets advocate training for his next race, his grieving family said Sunday.

Kevin Scott Cruickshank, 55, was gearing up for the NYC Century Bike Tour, which is returning from a six-year hiatus this September, when he was mowed down by the driver of a stolen Chevy Malibu that zoomed through a traffic median at Bowery and Canal streets in Manhattan Saturday morning.

In a cruel twist of fate, the Chase Bank loan manager and loving husband backed an organization that rallies for safer streets.

“Kevin had been a huge supporter of Transportation Alternatives for years,” his family said in a statement to The Post.

“He was registered for the TA Century ride in September — his favorite bike ride — and that’s why he was going out for a long 4-hour bike ride to Coney Island yesterday morning.”

The bike race is pegged for Sept. 21 and first started in 1990 before its brief pause.

Autumn Donna Ascencio Romero, 23, was allegedly behind the wheel of the car that fatally struck Cruickshank and 63-year-old May Kwok, who was sitting on a bench at the time of the crash.

Romero and her passenger, 22-year-old Kennedy LaCraft, tried to flee on foot but were captured shortly after. Police found drugs and alcohol in the Chevy.

Another organization dedicated to supporting loved ones of roadway deaths said in a statement to The Post it was “enraged about the death of yet two more innocent people just trying to get around the city.”

“The families in our organization know far too well the eternal pain and grief that comes with such a loss,” said Dahlia Goldenberg, associate director of Families for Safe Streets.

“Canal Street is one of the most dangerous streets in all of Manhattan – notorious for pedestrian and cyclist fatalities – and a comprehensive redesign is needed to prioritize safety.“
