Memorial Ride information

Ride information for the Memorial Ride Sunday January 8th.

There will also be people meeting at the George Washington Statue on the Brooklyn Side of the Williamsburg Bridge at 12:00. This ride will take people to Bushwick for the East New York Ride.

Here are the details.....

Join Time's Up! and a coalition of NYC Cycling Groups as we ride to the various fatality sites, holding mini-memorials for all the victims.

We have many different types of bikers in NYC
And we all ride for different reasons
--for the environment, for fun, for transportation, for exercise, for work--
But this Sunday we will come together as a united community
and ride to remeber and honor all 21 bikers who died on the city's streets in 2005.

We ride to HONOR those who have been injured or killed.
We ride to RAISE AWARENESS that we are here.
We ride to ask that we all SHARE THE ROAD.

In the US, cars kill more children and young adults than anything else.
10 cyclists per day are reported hit and injured by cars in NYC.
In NYC, on average one cyclist is killed every three weeks.
In NYC, on average sixteen cyclists are killed every year.

New York has no stated safety improvement goal.

Because New York City and the NYPD have no public database of accident sites, we do not have a record of all the cyclists killed...8 remain Unnamed. The rides will travel throughout the 4 outerboroughs, holding memorials for all the known victims, hooking up together along the way until all the groups come together in Manhattan (see timeline below for exact times and locations for all the various memorials) and will end in memorial for the 8 Unnamed Bikers at the Time's Up! Space (49 East Houston...between Mott & Mulberry).

Please join us...Bring Flowers & Candles.

Bring your camera to document any undercover or police harrassment of this peaceful memorial ride.
