GHOST BICYCLE DEDICATED ON 119

Attended a sad ceremony on Route 119. A white ghost bicycle was dedicated in honor and in memory of Merrill Cassell. He was killed on his bicycle after he was sideswiped by a county bus. A law is being pushed for that would require motorists to give cyclists a 3 foot buffer when they pass. 14 states have similar bicycle safety laws. Mr. Cassell was a resident of Hartsdale and a dedicated environmentalist and former UNICEF budget director.
