9th Annual Memorial Ride and Walk
Sunday, April 6, 2014



The Annual Memorial Ride and Walk brings New Yorkers together to remember pedestrians and cyclists killed in our city over the past year. This will mark the ninth year that this event has occurred. Riders will visit the site of each ghost bike, a white-painted memorial for cyclists, installed since 2013. Please help us show solidarity with the family and friends of those lost by joining us for this important event. Bring flowers and other items to honor those lost.

Please look out for a full schedule and route to be posted in the next week.

I'll be co-leading the Queens leg, btw. The ride has been growing each year and with the rising accident figures, it's important to show unity and support for the safety of all, as well as sympathy for the loved ones of the casualties.

Hope to see you out there on the 6th.
