Sunday Memorial Ride

Come out for the Memorial Ride to honor all 21 bikers who died on the city street's in 2005.

Go to http://http://www.times-up.org/calen...calendarid=669 for details on starting points and departure times.

Unfortunately, every borough will have a ride.

Rides will leave from 5 places:
Bronx: Brook Community Garden (138th @ Brook Ave)
Queens: College Point Entrance to Queens Botanical Garden
East Brooklyn: 300 Logan St.
South Brooklyn: 69th Street Pier
Staten Island: Hylan and Lipsett

The rides will converge on the TIMES UP! space at 49 E Houston with a final 3:30pm memorial.
Spread the word. See you there.

times-up.org

except manhattan. maybe I'll do the bronx one.

unless i'm reading it wrong, all the rides end up in manhattan so you'll be in manhattan regardless.



however, my question is: why would it be unfortuante that each borough has a ride (maybe just a typo??)?

wish I cold be there, guys. Won't be back in town till thurs.

duh, yer right.

unfortunate that a cyclist has been killed in every borough, I think.

ah, yeah. that makes sense.

Time's Up joins the party, Welcome.

On the sad note, I will be leading the Queens meet up. Gonna go scout it in about an hour from the Queensboro Bridge if anyone wants to come along. Might hit the track for a few laps.

the link got a little messed up above, but here it is:

One other thing you have to see is the map at the space where we plotted the routes. It is so ****ing sad and amazing at the same time. It is taped up on one of the walls near the NYBMA desk.

This should happen every year.

there are some crashmaps up on the transalt site, but doesn't reflect anything after 2001.

I'm gonna try to come to this, it would be my first mass ride. Jeez those maps are something else. RIP to all those who were lost.

Well the Queens route is all locked up. I just got back from scouting it. We are going to be meeting at 1pm under an overpass that has God Bless America painted on it and start from there. If you want to meet up with my group at any point between queens-greenpoint-williamsburg-then the big group in lower manhattan PM me and I'll hit you with my DC or cell.

Bonus: I jumped the fence at Kissena and did some laps. First time I was ever on a track. Fun Fun Fun.

bump, hope to see some of you tommorrow.

Is anyone going to do this? I'm trying to figure out my day tomorrow, but I wanted to see who is going to be where. I was thinking of starting off at the Elizabeth PAdilla memorial and going onward from there.

i have a broken thumb, but i am doing the staten island ride one-handed.

i'll be at the 69th st. pier starting point. taped up 04 pista.

i'm about to head to the bridge...

i had to bow out about halfway through the SI part. too much pain. hope all goes well for the rest of you.

It was so good to see all these bikers come together for this. Thank you very much, all who came. Ride safe.

great ride, Times-Up!. Very well done. Very well planned. It was great to round a corner and see yet another group of cyclists waiting to meet up with us. I met the group out at Elizabeth's memorial in Park Slope, and rode with them the rest of the way. The cops rode with us from the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge, but for the most part, didn't give us a hard time. Again, well done, Times-UP. Congratulations on getting all these people together. PS: Post photo/media links if & when they pop up.

hi, i went. wonderful ride.

I would like to also thank each and every BF member that showed up. That was amazing.

The numbers were huge and respectful. When people talk about community...that is what I will always refer to. Thank you.

nice to meet some folks. sorry it had to be over 21 deaths, but it was a nice ride.

apologies for not doing this yesterday -- got really sick and stayed in bed. with y'all in spirit tho.. also, a nice write-up in AMNew York today.
