I completed my #rideofsilence2020 #socialdistancing in
#PalmettoBay & #CutlerBay #Florida to honor cyclists who were injured or
died from cycling related accidents.
Today’s ride was personal rather than the traditional large
group ride due to the pandemic and the need to be socially distanced. The
purpose of this ride is just as important and many participated this day in
unusual ways including indoor and virtual rides. My ride took from my home in Palmetto Bay
through Cutler Bay into deep South Miami-Dade County – Black Point where we
stopped to take a moment to reflect at Reddy’s Ghost Bike (pictured). The bike is located along the main drive through black point on the corner with the first driveway turn in to the marina parking.

Ghost Bikes are small and somber memorials for bicyclists who are killed or hit on the street. A bicycle is painted all white and locked to a street sign near the crash site, accompanied by a small plaque. They serve as reminders of the tragedy that took place on an otherwise anonymous street corner, and as quiet statements in support of cyclists' right to safe travel.
