Ghost Bike Ride Information -

I'm passing along this info via the Procratinating Pedalers.

Please join us for a ride to memorialize and place a Ghost Bike for Procrastinating Pedaler Club member and avid bicyclist, Don Campbell.

Don Campbell was killed by a motorist, in this case driving a Q&D construction truck, on July 16, 2007, almost exactly one year after David Pumphrey was killed by a hit and run motorist on Double R Boulevard. On Labor Day weekend, 2006, about 140 local bicyclists placed a Ghost Bike near the site of David's accident.

This Ghost Bike will be placed at the intersection of Sparks Blvd. & Los Altos Parkway at about 9:00am.

Due to the heavy traffic in the area and the desire to raise the visibility of bicyclists, we are going to ride from 4 gathering points:
Start Time: Start Place: Dist to Ghost Bike
8:00am Roy Gomm Elementary School 12 miles
8:50am Katz Koffee, at the first right turn mall entrance heading east from Pyramid on Los Altos Pkwy 1 mile
8:50am American Java, Vista & Los Altos Pkwy 1 mile
8:50am Wells Fargo Bank, Disc Dr & Sparks Blvd. 1 mile

The purpose of this ride is not just to honor our fallen friend but also to raise awareness of bicyclists' right to share the roads with motorists and to heighten bicyclists' awareness of their need to ride defensively.
Helmets are absolutely required to participate in this ride!
For information, please contact Terry at 775-287-7142 or tmcafee@gmail.com.

The more bicyclists we can gather for this ride, the more community awareness will be raised.
Please pass this message on to all of your bicycling friends.
