Cycling advocates held a memorial ride Wednesday night (December 9) to pay tribute to 23-year old Alex Amaro. Hundreds of cyclists departed Bloor and Spadina and biked down to the Queen’s Park Legislature.
Amaro, a florist and aspiring journalist, was killed on the night of December 2 where Dufferin Street and Sylvan Avenue meet outside of the Dufferin Mall, a stretch cycling advocates refer to as “notoriously dangerous” and “a highway for cars.”
