Virginia Beach authorities have decided that no charges will be filed (http://www.vabike.org/no-charges-filed-in-virginia-beach-cycling-death/) for the death of Daniel Wayne Hersh, who was hit from behind while riding on Shore Dr.

Wes Cheney's blog (http://fotobywes.blogspot.com/) has been a good clearinghouse for information about this tragic accident, and its tragic aftermath.

A large local turnout is expected for the Ride of Silence (http://www.rideofsilence.org/main.php), and VBF board member Bill Hart is working on a Ride for Justice on July 11.

Let's all help the Virginia Beach cycling community to continue to rally -- maybe come to town for one of these rides. VBF will do our best to keep everyone informed.
