MoBikeFed and the Greater Kansas City Bicycle Federation are jointly sponsoring a memorial ride for bicyclist Robert Osborn, who was murdered three weeks ago while riding his bicycle home from work.

Robert's family has suggested the theme, "Safe Streets-Safe City".

Time: Vigil at 11 AM, Sunday, December 11th, 2005; Memorial Ride immediately afterward (weather conditions permitting)
Meeting Place: Parking lot of HyVee, 4545 Noland Rd, Independence, Missouri

Details about the vigil, ride, and route are here.

EVERYONE is invited to participate the vigil, where Robert's family and friends will talk about Robert and his life.

Immediately after the vigil the bicycle ride will follow Robert's usual bicycle commuting route from Hy-Vee, where he worked. Exact route of the ride may be adjusted depending on weather conditions.
