🤍 Remembering Hannah

This month the cycling community came together to honor Hannah, a triathlete who was tragically killed by a car. A ghost bike has been placed at the crash site on Central and Elwood in her memory.

A fundraiser has been set up to support Hannah's family. If you're able to contribute, every bit helps.

Ride safe out there. Look out for each other.
