[NMCycling] Ghost Bike Placement Today + Ofrenda at National Hispanic Cultural Center

[Jennifer Buntz via Bike-racers]

Family and friends will gather at 3:30 pm Saturday, 10-25-2014, to place a
ghost bike for Jose Ruiz.  We will meet at the gas station at the corner of
Westside and the Coors Bypass/528 to determine the best place for the ghost
bike.

We will be looking to place the bike south of the meeting spot, closer to
where the crash happened.  The ghost bike will be dedicated at 4 pm.

Jose was killed September 13, 2014 when he was struck from behind by Cory
Lucero, who is alleged to have been under the influence of drugs and
alcohol at the time of the crash.  Lucero did flee the scene, but was
apprehended later by APD, thanks to information provided by witnesses.

Join us for this important ghost bike placement.

On display now through November 2, 2014 is a ghost bike ofrenda at the
National Hispanic Cultural Center.  This is one of many ofrendas you can
see there, free of charge, in the days leading up to Dia de las Muertos.
