Street Riders NYC
U.S. activists
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Street Riders NYC was a collective that formed in June 2020 during the period of civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd.[1][2] The group emerged in part from an effort by cyclists to help shield demonstrators from arrest.[3] It was founded by Orlando Hamilton and Peter Kerre. The group at one point saw thousands attending weekly protests throughout the city seeking to raise awareness about systemic racism and police brutality.[4] Made up entirely of volunteers, the group has their own medics, mechanics, and traffic blockers available for assistance on the ride.[5]
