Ghost Ride: Norfolk

I printed up 40 spoke cards & had three left over after handing them out, so by my count we had 37 cyclists out last Friday for a special Critical Mass ride. The air temperature was in the mid nineties, never mind the radiated heat from the asphalt roads. After three flats and a couple of regroups, we set up two memorial Ghost Bikes.

Ghost Ride: Norfolk

Ghost Ride: Norfolk

In the past year, two cyclists have been struck and killed by automobile drivers in Norfolk.

Next Friday, June 26th, we will have a special Critical Mass ride to remember those cyclists who have been killed, and remember that there have been no legal consequences for their killers. We will place Ghost Bikes on Tidewater Drive and Little Creek Road to mark the spots where Michael Holmes and Kevin Bragg were killed.


Ghost Ride: Norfolk will start and end at Blair Middle School on Colley Avenue in Ghent, start time 6pm. Total mileage will be 17 miles. For cyclists preferring a shorter route, there will also be the normal Critical Mass ride through Ghent and Downtown Norfolk. The route of Ghost Ride: Norfolk can be seen here:
