...They could see the man had been murdered, and he was surrounded by loose change on the ground and over 50 bicycles nearby in the alley.

Who killed him and why?

Over 50 bicycles? Could there, perhaps, have been 53 bicycles?

Somebody who didn't need the loose change?

Since 53 is more than 50, yes, there could have been 53.

BTW, there were a number of non-coin "notes" of various denominations lying around as well.

There was a back alley poker game going on and someone discovered the murder victim had a an extra card, i.e., Bicycle brand card that they were playing with, up his sleeve. He was murdered for cheating at poker, and the players scattered, leaving the pot in disarray, before the police arrived.

Sounds like a parking valet for the Tour de France was charging way too much money...
