The ride was organized by McKay and City Councilman Bill DeSteph, an avid cyclist. Councilwoman Rosemary Wilson also participated.

“It’s all about awareness,” DeSteph said. “Some folks on bikes think they always have the right-of-way and some folks in cars think cyclists shouldn’t be on the road.”

Advocacy for increased safety measures for cyclists and pedestrians – particularly through the Shore Drive corridor – have steadily gained steam since the April death of Daniel Hersh, who was struck and killed on an early morning ride on Shore Drive.
