Rides planned from memorial sites to rally on Saturday

Please consider gathering before Saturday’s rally at one of the all-too-many sites around town where people have been killed while bicycling or walking, and then riding or walking with the group to Waterfront Park. All processions will be timed to arrive at Salmon Street Springs by 11:45am.

The list below also includes sites that haven’t yet been spoken up for. If you would like to lead a ride from these sites or others not listed, please email eleanor dot blue at gmail dot com. The list will be updated throughout Thursday and Friday.

Please wear a black armband for mourning, red if you’ve been injured. Armbands will be available at these gatherings and at Waterfront Park, but you’re encouraged to bring your own.
