HISTORY
For those new to this event, the ride is held on this date because it (somewhat) coincides with the anniversary of the resolution establishing the Mickey Shunick Memorial Bike Loop. The resolution, which passed the City-Parish Council 9-0, stated the “Lafayette community has expressed a desire to memorialize Mickey’s legacy” and that she “loved to bike and used her bike as transportation throughout the community.” With this year’s ride we hope to memorialize all who have passed away while cycling.
