NYC Bike Family Mass Die-in, Washington Square Park, July 9, 2019 by Transportation Alternatives. Mass die-in to protest the killing of cyclists. Non-violent, peaceful memorial event. Drivers have killed 15 people on bikes this year, more than double the number killed this time last year.

Identities of some of the victims

Transportation Alternatives: “We de­serve safe pa­ssage. We deserve the pure joy of riding a bike. We will not stop rid­ing and we will not ac­cept this injus­tice.”

Making sure that “May­or Bill de Blasio knows that the NYC Bike Family will not stand for the threat on our lives. Vision Zero is in a state of emergency, and the only way to stop the killings is to break New York City’s car culture.”
