Between 150 and 200 cyclists rode along the Manawatu River Bridle Track from The Esplanade to Te Matai Rd yesterday for the Patricia Fraser Memorial Bike Ride.
Mrs Fraser died in November last year when she was struck by a car on State Highway 2 while out cycling with a friend.
Her husband, Joe Fraser, led the ride flanked by his friends and family, who wore T-shirts bearing her name and photo. He rode a bike that was painted white in his wife’s honour. He hopes to mount it at the site where she was killed.
