The Sixth Annual Memorial Bike Ride took place today across the five boroughs, with dozens of tweets coming from cyclists along the ride. Put on by the NYC Street Memorial Project, it took riders across the city to commemorate and honor the 14 cyclists who died this year. They traveled past "ghost bikes," the painted white bikes with small plaques placed as detailed reminders of bike fatalities.
Among those who were memorialized this year were Alprentice (A.J.) Gray, Megan Charlop, Marcus Ewing, Bob Bowen, Neil Chamberlain, Jake McDonough, and Jasmine Herron. We'll have more pictures tomorrow, but if you have any pictures, or accounts, of the ride you'd like to share, tag them as "Gothamist" on Flickr or send them to [email protected].
