This past August, a young cyclist and a beloved T.A. volunteer, James Langergaard, was struck and killed by a car at Queens Boulevard and 69th Street.

This Friday, T.A. will be holding a special Queens Boulevard Bike Pool ride in honor of James. Please come out and join us to help send a strong message to the community that these casualties of the Boulevard will not be forgotten, and that our work to prevent future tragedies is ever-increasing. The ride will pause at the site of James' crash to dedicate his ghost bike.

Where: Ride meets at the Queens foot of the Queensboro Bridge bike/pedestrian path (Queens Plaza North at Crescent Street in Long Island City), ride ends in Forest Hills When: Friday, October 2, Riders depart at 6:30 pm

Monthly bike commuter pools on Queens Boulevard are led by T.A.'s Queens Committee to provide cyclists with a safe ride home, and build support for protected space for cyclists on the borough's most iconic roadway.
