The Springfield cycling community is remembering a cyclist who died this week after being hit by a truck.

Jeff Potts was on his way to work at KY3 when he was hit in the intersection of Kansas Expressway and Bennett Street.

A memorial ride in honor of Jeff began at the Ewing Sports Complex parking lot. They then rode to the spot where Jeff was hit. The ride was less than a mile.

The organizer of the ride, Keith Donaldson, says even though many of the riders didn't know Jeff personally, the cycling community is a family. They wanted to show support and send a reminder to all drivers and cyclists.
