Friday, Dec. 10 marks one year since a tragic crash near Searchlight left five cyclists dead.
Last year, a group of around 15 cyclists was on a ride between Boulder City and Searchlight when an impaired truck driver swerved and hit the group, killing five.
In honor of their memory, there will be a free, ghost bike ride, for the community, this Saturday. Friends and family of those who died are encouraging people to take part in the ride along the Las Vegas Strip. They will ride down the LV strip with a Metro Police escort.
This is an out and back route, about 8 total miles. Cyclists are encouraged to bring and wear their own helmet, water, and snacks.
Where: Parking lot of the Catholic church at 55 E. Reno Avenue near Tropicana Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard.
When: Saturday, December 11, 2021
If you have any questions, or want to donate, or even help with Ghost Bike LV please message @Pat Treichel, the event coordinator and President of GBLV!
