Next Sunday, the Seventh Annual Memorial Ride and Walk will take place across all five boroughs to commemorate cyclists who have been killed on the streets of New York City in the past year.
Among those whose memories will be honored are Ray Deter, Jefferey Axelrod, Nicolas Djandji, Erica Abbot, Aileen Chen, Marilyn Dershowitz, Mathieu LeFevre and Qi Yu Weng. More information on Ghost Bikes can be found here, and our report on why the NYPD's investigations of the deaths of cyclists and pedestrians are woefully inadequate can be found here.
