| On 1/17/2010, Christophe Le Canne, 44, was killed in a bike lane from behind, reportedly by a hit and run drunk driver and delayed emergency response in Key Biscayne, Florida. On 1/24/2010 1000's of Miami cyclists came out on a memorial ride in Christophe's name. Now is your opportunity to pay tribute to Miami for their brave action during their time of grief. A saying of Christophe's is 'The Journey is the thing!'. So we will visit ghosts bikes, roadways where there are, used to be, or could be bike lanes, and maybe water or bridges on our travels. Update: Miami is now scheduling a ride concurrently with ours. MIA / NYC Solidarity Ride http://miamibikescene.blogspot.com/2010/02/mia-nyc-solidarity-rode.html We will be having a speaker phone conversation with people from Miami, so we can get a first hand account of what is happening over there, so please arrive early to the ride if you can. The day after our ride the suspect will have his first hearing.
