#WorldDayOfRemembrance for Road Traffic Victims honors those who have lost their lives or been impacted by traffic violence. Today, families, friends, advocates & community members in Boulder, Colorado Springs, Greeley & Longmont are gathering to remember their loved ones and demand safer streets.

We were honored to host a conversation for our Breakaway Society with Wes Marshall, professor of civil engineering at the University of Colorado Denver and author of "Killed by a Traffic Engineer." We appreciated the engaging discussion and highly recommend checking out his book.

Nobody should have to experience the loss of their loved one in traffic violence. Like you, we are worried about the safety of our kids, spouses, parents, friends & ourselves when we bike. You can make Colorado a safer place to bike & protect lives today: https://bit.ly/BicycleColoradoCGD
