An 88-year-old cyclist was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Queens, cops said Tuesday.

Mohamed Ali, started out riding on the sidewalk of East 131st Street near Rockaway Boulevard in South Ozone Park around 1 p.m. April 16, according to police.

He then pedaled onto East 131st Street, where he was struck by a blue sedan, whose driver fled the scene.

Ali, who lived two miles away, was found unconscious by police officers and rushed to Jamaica Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries, cops said.

Ali’s daughter, Razia Ali, 51, said the family is “still distraught” about the death of the great-great-grandfather, who she described as very independent, and pleaded for the driver to “turn himself in.”

“That’s inhumane, hitting a person like that and just driving away,” Razia said. “I hope they find him. I miss [her father] a lot.”
