If there is anybody out there who would like to participate in the bike ride for Sylvia on Tuesday but does not have a functional bike, the Ohio City Bicycle Co-op (OCBC) would like to help you.
Those of you who are interested in borrowing a bicycle should stop by the OCBC any time on Monday between Noon and 9:00 PM. The Co-op is located at 1823 Columbus Road in Cleveland. Jim Sheehan is encouraging people to go down to the Co-op to choose a bike whenever they can on Monday, then return at 7:00 Tuesday morning to meet up, retrieve the bike, and ride over to Sylvia's house as a group. Please refer any questions to the Bicycle Co-op at 216.830.2667
We don't want anyone excluded from this ride because they are without a bicycle, so please take the OCBC up on this offer if you are interested. Again, the Co-op will have loaner helmets available on Tuesday. You need not show up at the Co-op on Monday if you wish to borrow a helmet for the ride.

This Little Light of Mine
I'm going to let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Sylvia's smile shines so bright. Anyone who met her knows the glow. Because not everyone who was touched by Sylvia was together this week, to sing under the stars, tell stories by the fire, or laugh about her quirks on the couch, we invite you to use this space to share how she touched your life. A simple story, a conversation remembered, some detail of her crazy outfit, or a recipe she loved, put it all here!

I RIDE FOR SYLVIA
So, just last week Sylvia was venting to us her frustration with people's constant questioning of her reasons for biking. "I want to make a Tshirt" she said, "that says I RIDE FOR, then underneath put a different reason, because there are so many."
(She also wanted to make a shirt to wear during rush hour traffic that says "Don't you wish YOU were biking", to jab at all those stuck in the congestion, as she whizzed by them in the bike lane!)
We will realize her Tshirt idea, by creating I RIDE FOR shirts to wear during the silent ride. I RIDE FOR:
Bluer Skies.
Your Lungs.
Health.
Strength.
Joy.
Less traffic.
Quieter streets.
Asthmatics.
Everyone who can't.
Sylvia.
Please take a moment and share your reasons.

Memorial Ride
In mourning, memory, celebration, and honor of Sylvia's passing and love of bicycling we will ride silently through the streets of Cleveland.
Details are as follows: Meet at Sylvia's Tremont home at the intersection of Fairfield and West 11th at 7:30 AM. The ride will begin at 8:00 on Tuesday, September 22nd--on the 1 week anniversary of Sylvia's accident. We will have a limited number of white "I RIDE FOR SYLVIA" T-shirts available for a goodwill donation. Please wear white shirts. Helmets are required, and loaners will be available at the site if you don't have your own.
This will be a silent procession beginning at Sylvia's home, following her ride to work at Hard Hatted Women, then coming back through Ohio City. This is a ride solely to honor Sylvia, at which we will announce plans for a more generally accessible cycling event on a weekend in the near future. We hope you will join us.
Here is the starting location.
