Memorial Ride for Anthony John Diaz 2019-02-13

What happened (if you missed it).

Facebook event

Feb 13th, wheels down at 4:30 PM, 412 Comal Street, Plaza Saltillo

First and foremost, this is a silent ride. Please keep talking to a minimum and please no music.

Our plan is to start at Plaza Saltillo at 4:30 (sharp - don't be late) and slowly make our way to the crash site arriving at 5pm. At the crash site, we would like to say a few kind words and remind everyone that cycling is a valid form of transportation and that cyclists are vulnerable road users. We do not want to be angry or hostile. The point is to show solidarity and let others know that crashes like this are unacceptable.

The ride will continue and end at the Cap Metro facilities on E. 5th street. Once we arrive we would like to say some words about how safety should be the most important issue to bus drivers, rather than speeding down a street to make a green light, or stay on schedule.
