Follow-Up: Reward Fund Being Set Up

Peter McKay sent an e-mail to say he was doing fine and that he rode his bike to work on Monday. That’s the best news I’ve heard all week.

Meantime, the Seattle randonneuring crew has rallied into action, setting up a reward fund for information leading to the shooter's arrest and conviction. So far, they’ve gathered more than $7,500 in pledges, with dozens of riders offering $50, $100 or more toward the pot.

A group that Kent Peterson works for, Bicycle Alliance of Washington, was either accepting donations or pledges, not sure which. If you’d like to help out, check in with Kent at this e-mail: kentp (at) bicyclealliance (dot) org.

BTW: here's Kent Peterson’s take on the incident.

Here's another blog post about the fund.


I end this post with Peter’s words from a post to the SIR list, in which he thanked everyone for the overwhelming show of support:

I am honored to be a member of the bicycling community because we all care about the community in which we live and commute.
