Chaim Goldberg, 24, was struck and killed by a school bus while riding his bike at about 6:20 p.m.
Goldberg tried to stop on the rain-slickened road, but skidded and fell under the bus' rear wheels.
"The ambulance came, but unfortunately, they knew it was over," said a woman who lives near the scene.
Dozens of people from the community gathered near the mangled bike. They said the victim is a rabbinical student who left a wife and young child, and had another child on the way.
"He may have been coming home from tutoring, said Isreal Friedman, 25, who knew the victim.
Several people at the accident scene said Goldberg may have become disoriented on the bike because he is diabetic.
The driver of the school bus, which came from a nearby Yeshiva, was not charged and police said they didn't believe there were any students on board.
