Messengers congregated at Love Park yesterday evening to call attention to the recently inflamed road rage against bicyclists that resulted in a hit and run against messenger Rachel Fletcher on Thanksgiving morning, and to declare their opposition to City Council's bills. Jorge Brito, the

Philadelphia Bicycle Messenger Association spokesperson, spoke to over 100 messengers. A number of press outlets covered the event, including the
Inquirer,
NBC,
Philadelphia Weekly,
KWY, and
Fox29The messengers made their own
video of the rally. Worth watching to hear their message.
The Inquirer also published a great
editorial by cyclist Matthew Rascone about why registering bikes won't prevent "accidents" (crashes).
Great News! Amanda Gillern, who was
hit by a cab this summer that fled the scene, just posted a message on the
Bicycle Coalition's Facebook page that the cabbie was finally arrested.
