A 33-year-old female cyclist has died after being hit by a bus in Melbourne's CBD Thursday morning.
The revelation comes after a 33-year-old Parkville woman was killed when a bus collided with her bicycle near the corner of Swanston and Bourke streets this morning.

The woman died at the scene about 8am after she was struck by a Gray Line tourist bus.

It is believed the woman was dead when paramedics arrived, an ambulance spokeswoman said.

About 200 cyclists rallied near the corner tonight to pay their respects and to help other cyclists.
