Congratulations to our Cover Photo Contest Winner
With this issue, we initiated a cover photo contest. The submissions were amazing! The one that made the cover did so both for its composition and the story behind it. The photographer, Steve Magas (Instagram: @bicyclelawyer), a fellow bicycle lawyer from Ohio, told us this:
A shot from the Ride of Silence 2022 in Cincinnati. We rode to 3 City Halls — Cincinnati, OH and then crossed the bridge and rode to the Covington & Newport KY city halls as well. TriState Trails decided to call it RAR- Remembrance Action Ride — to encourage folks to call on governments to take ACTION on Safety… it was a wee bit wet that night!
Many people know the Ride of Silence, typically the third Wednesday in May at 7 p.m., occurs in many cities throughout the world, honoring cyclists killed by traffic violence. In many cities, people place ghost bikes, bikes painted all white, at locations where victims were killed. The Ride of Silence both honors victims and calls attention to the ongoing need to improve infrastructure and traffic safety for all. The photo and the actions it’s photographer took to travel to three city halls spoke to us.
Honorable mention goes to Peter Curley’s (@curleyp) joyous image of a cyclist rounding a Golden Gate Bridge tower, which appears on the back flap of our printed newsletter.
