This from Brent Hugh: "Bicyclists,
I hope you will plan to join us for a memorial ride Sunday December 11th for
Robert Osborn, the bicyclist who was so senselessly murdered recently.
Although I didn't know Robert, he lived just about 1/2 mile from my home and
rode many of the same routes I and my family ride daily and weekly. So this
really hit home for me.
Robert was an avid transportational cyclist. He owned three bicycles, usually
commuted to work on his bicycle, and rode all over the metropolitan area.
In short, he was one of us."
Time: 11 AM, Sunday, December 11th, 2005
Meeting Place: Parking lot of HyVee, 4545 Noland Rd, Independence, Missouri
Route: 8 miles, including Robert's usual bicycling commuting route
Who is invited:
* Anyone (bicyclist or not) who would like to meet in support Robert's
family and friends and in support of safer routes and a safer city
* Bicyclists who would like to ride in memory of Robert and in support of
safer routes and a safer city.
The vigil and ride are jointly sponsored by the Greater Kansas City Bicycle
Federation and the Missouri Bicycle Federation.
