SUMMARY:Ghost Bike Installation and Memorial Ride for Mike Sloan
CONTACT:Families for Safe Streets
DESCRIPTION:The bike community sadly lost one of our own in a bike crash 
 earlier this year. Mike Sloan was riding on the 50s Greenway when he 
 crashed while crossing SE Division Street. Witnesses report that Mike's 
 bike began to wobble and then fall over when he rode into the intersection
  after waiting to get a green light.\n\nA memorial service will be held at
  the crash site\, along with the permanent installation of a ghost bike. 
 This is a bike that Mike rode and was recently being used as a trainer in 
 his basement.\n\nMike was a long-term member and active ride leader in the
  Portland Bicycle Club. As a highly experienced rider\, he regularly went 
 for 30+ mile rides around Portland. He was near the end of a 35-mile ride 
 when the wreck occurred. Also a keen bicycle tourist\, he had ridden (with
  his daughter) from San Diego\, CA to St. Augustine\, FL in just 30 
 days.\n\nAfter the ghost bike installation there will be a memorial bike 
 ride to honor Mike. This will be a 37-mile ride along one of his favorite 
 loop routes\, but it will also include a shorter 5-mile loop for those who
  don't want to do the longer distance.\n\nThe memorial and ghost bike 
 installation will start at 11am at SE Division St & SE 52nd Ave\, followed
  by the bike ride from that same location. Both the long and short rides 
 will return there.\n\nWe hope to see all who wish to honor Mike at this 
 event and to hear remembrances of his life.\n\nShort route map -
