Rash of deadly holiday crashes, memorial ride this weekend

Jan 7, 2010 | by Active Trans

Did you see the news over the holidays? There were too many stories about pedestrians and bicyclists that had been killed or seriously injured by drivers.

One, two, three, four, five…too many. Too many real people who are no longer with us or whose lives and health have been forever changed. Our thoughts go out to family and friends of those people who were killed or hurt.

There is is memorial ride and Ghost Bike installation this weekend for one of the holiday vicitims, Jepson Livingston.

Please drive safely. Be aware that you are responsible for vulnerable users.

Active Trans has been a lifeline for us. [The organization] has been a huge source of learning and support. Without them, we would be out to sea all by ourselves, not really knowing what to do and not having the strength in numbers to keep things moving.
