On Saturday, Village Cycles is joining Angry Catfish and Wilde Bikes to honor Alex Pretti. We will also ride in memory of Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, Geraldo Lunas Campos, Víctor Manuel Díaz, Parady La, Renee Nicole Good, Luis Beltrán Yáñez–Cruz, and Heber Sánchez Domínguez and in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis and other communities affected by the actions of ICE since the beginning of this year.
Alex was one of us, could’ve been any of us.
Meet at the tower in Village Park at 3:00 PM, we will roll at 3:15. It will be a no-drop ride to Shark Reef Park and back to the tower. About 10 miles.
Alex Pretti’s local bike shop is asking bikers to join in for a group ride to honor Alex.
From Angry Catfish:
“Alex was one of us, could’ve been any of us, so as we mourn, all of us can come together in unity to remember Alex for what he was. A kind and caring soul put on this earth to be the light for others. Although his light has been extinguished by this fascist regime, it hasn’t been lost. If anything, those sparks fell and ignited something in us that’s been hiding all along. We are stronger together, and they can’t take us all. We’ve gathered together a community of cyclists to remember Alex Pretti. Please join in, near or far this Saturday, 1/31 1:00 PM Central Time
