A MAN will appear in court this week charged with causing the death of a Newport cyclist by careless driving.

The 61-year-old is going before magistrates in Cwmbran on Friday.

Newport dad Andrew Chick died after a collision with a black Volkswagen car on the Southern Distributor Road (SDR) on August 8.
