Cyclists devastated by the number of people killed while biking in Seattle and the region are coming together on Saturday, September 24, to honor the fallen with a bike ride.

"Perched on bike saddles all around the city, residents of Seattle are feeling a mix of fear, anger, sadness, hope and everything in between. Friends and family of those injured or killed on the streets of Seattle are coming to terms with their forever-changed lives," writes Tom Fucoloro, editor of Seattle Bike Blog. "Seattle, we need to get together, honor those who have lost their lives in traffic and support each other. We need to work for change. There is no better way to do this than to ride together."

Fucoloro together with Davey Oil of Bike Works and Adonia Lugo, one of the founding forces behind LA’s CicLAvia events and author of Urban Adonia, is leading the ride that will visit the memorials of Mike Wang, Brian Fairbrother and Robert Townsend.

Cyclists around the city have been shaken by the recent events. Myself included. Last week for the first time since moving to Seattle, I felt a little uncomfortable riding my bike. The many bicycle-car accidents lately are frightening. While it's not keeping me off my bike, it does make me uneasy.

"Safe streets are not just about riding bicycles. Nobody should die on the streets of Seattle, whether they are on foot, on a bike or in a car," Fucoloro said. " We encourage anyone whose life has been affected by injury or death on the roadways to join us September 24 for a slow bicycle ride. If you are not usually a bicycle rider, find a bike to borrow. We will ride slowly and nobody will be left behind."

The ride starts directly after Moving Planet Seattle, a day-long sustainability festival taking place at South Lake Union Park.

Meet at 3 p.m. and the ride leaves 4 p.m.
