The 60-year-old New York City rider and his 47-year-old male companion from Elmwood Park were struck on Sylvan Avenue (Route 9W) near Hollywood Avenue shortly after 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Police Detective Lt. Ronald Waldt said.
Both he and the Elmwood Park cyclist, who sustained abrasions, were taken to Hackensack University Medical Center for treatment, Waldt said.
The Cliffside Park motorist, who remained at the scene, received a summons for careless driving, he said.
The area has long been a sore spot (no pun intended) for bicyclists and motorists alike, each of whom blames the other for creating hazardous -- and potentially fatal -- situations.
