“"Laying" in this context is correct. Lay is a transitive verb meaning that there is always an object associated with it, and the cyclist is the object in the sentence.
I don't think flattop was making a joke, just an observation on what was thought to be incorrect grammar.
Anyway, I don't think that death is a sensitive subject that shouldn't be joked about. Society places all these taboos around death but why? It's the one certainty in life. That and taxes. Yeah, I know, what if it was a relation of mine that had died...?”

Hmmm.... that's strange. Because you made a very similar objection about someone else's comment on the thread about the dead cyclist in Knowle. Hypocrite.”

“No. "Laying" is OK. Lying would be wrong.”
