Media reports that Dan was an avid bike rider and tennis player.
According to Tablet Magazine
Dan Hanegby, a 36-year-old father of two, was killed Monday while
riding a bike in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. He lived with
his children and wife Sasha—they met when they were 10 years old—in
Brooklyn Heights, a beautiful neighborhood just over the bridge, but
grew up in Herzliya, Israel. By the age of 16 he was the country’s
top-ranked tennis player, and served in the IDF shortly thereafter,
eventually rising to the rank of Staff Sergent.
He was the first member of his family to move to the United States,
arriving in 2003 to attend college. He began his college career at the
age of 23 at Binghamton University in upstate New York and eventually
transferred to Brown in Providence, Rhode Island, where he was the
66th-ranked men’s singles tennis player in the country.

The bus driver was later found guilty at trial according to Gothamist
