In Hue, Vietnam this cyclo guy was following us, so I asked if I could give him a ride instead. He thought this was hlarious and my friend Lisa snapped this photo.

THANK YOU STREETSBLOG

Streetsblog has been up to the minute with reporting on Craig’s death and they have pics from the memorial ride Friday here. Thanks!
 

Tonight was the memorial for Craig. It was really wonderful. People told stories about him and played a song he loved (Heartbeats). I’m feeling like a wreck these days knowing how senseless Craig’s death was. It’s so sad to lose a friend and to know that he was lost because cycling is so dangerous here. […]

From Pete:
Meet at the base of the bridge at 5pm to ride for Craig. Show up early to hang first, as we’ll probably leave pretty close to on time. At 6pm we meet at Union & Ten Eyck to place the bike together.
Sunday memorial info:
On Sunday, October 21st at 9pm we will be meeting in […]
