Today, the 4th Annual Memorial Ride and Walk, organized by the Street Memorial Project, is taking place. The Memorial Ride and Walk visits the sites where bicyclists and pedestrians were killed—according to Transportation Alternatives, "There were 14 known bicyclist fatalities and more than 100 pedestrian deaths in 2008, according to media reports."
There are rides and walks across the city and they will converge at 4 p.m. in the Lower East Side (details and times for the rides and walks after the jump) and then participants will head to St. Mark's Church to dedicate and install memorials for the "as-yet-unreported victims" in 2008.
