Memorial rides planned across the country to honor Pretti [View all]

Pretti was a regular customer at the Angry Catfish bike shop in South Minneapolis, and today the shop announced a memorial bike ride in his honor on January 31. The Minneapolis ride is set to start at Washburn Fair Oaks Park, though the shop hopes riders from other locations will also participate.

“Please join in, near or far this Saturday, 1/31 1:00 PM Central Time,” they wrote in a social media post. “We’re asking folks to host rides and come together. Bike shops and non-profits, cycling orgs and alt cycling collectives, city and rural. We are many but we stand together as one.”

In response, cyclists as far away as Atlanta are working to organize their own memorial rides to coincide with the one in Minneapolis. “He was one of us,” one of the Atlanta organizers wrote online. The Atlanta ride begins at downtown at Woodruff park.
