A Balwyn e-cyclist has died in hospital following a horror collision with another rider in late January.

Nitin Prabhu, 41, died on February 6, just a week after colliding with another cyclist on Mont Albert Rd in Canterbury.

He was rushed to hospital after the collision on January 29.

The other rider, a 62-year-old Blackburn man, suffered minor injuries and was also taken to hospital.

A fundraiser for Mr Prabhu’s family had raised $37,937 by 11am on February 6.

Creator of the fundraiser and friend of Mr Prabhu, Suneeth Umesh Rao, said his friend left behind “a legacy of kindness and a warmth”.

“Nitin’s life was a testament to the power of unity and compassion,” he said.

“He profoundly touched us all.”
