A Ride to Honor Fallen Cyclists

Time’s Up, the organization responsible for the white ghost bike memorials that have been placed around the city to honor deceased cyclists, is hosting their annual Bicyclist Memorial Ride this Sunday, January 7. The ride will mourn the deaths of all the cyclists who were killed on city streets in 2006. The bikers will ride into the far reaches of every borough, stopping to pay their respects at every crash site. Described on their website as “a quiet statement in support of a biker’s right to safe travel,” the ride also “seeks to bring bikers together to honor our fellow cyclists while bringing attention to the fact that all NYC bikers travel the same unsafe streets and face the same risks every day.” To join the Queens/Brooklyn/Manhattan Route, meet at Jamaica Center stop on the E or J trains on Sunday at 9:45am.
