DOWNLOAD THIS MONTH’S ITINERARY Honor The Fallen Bike Ride Tonight (Friday) at 7pm
Our good friend Alan Snel from SWFBUD is hosting a 15 mile ride this evening to honor the fallen bicyclists who have been struck by motor vehicles in and around the Tampa Bay area.
Starting point for the ride is the Seminole Heights Garden Center, 5800 Central Avenue just north of Hillsborough Avenue in Tampa. The group will be leaving out at 7:00 pm.
Info provided by Alan,
It will be a respectful 15-mile bike ride to downtown Tampa and through Channelside and Ybor City and back to Seminole Heights. Nothing fancy — kind of like a low-key Critical Mass, kind of like a Ride of Silence. A reverent ride to remember those bicyclists whose lives have been claimed on the streets and roads around here. You’re welcome to come. Just bring a helmet and lights.
Happy and safe pedaling. Ride on!
