Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Bicyclist Mitchell Krasnopoler of Leawood rides a bicycle to get exercise. He rides to spend times outdoors. Sometimes he rides to commute to work.

“The last reason I ride is because my son Nathan was killed while riding a bicycle, and it’s one of the ways I process that loss,” Krasnopoler said. “It gives me a way to remember him every time I ride.”

On Wednesday evening, Krasnopoler and other members of the Kansas City bicycling community will ride to remember all cyclists killed or injured while riding on Kansas City area streets.

They will ride in silence.

Cycling Kansas City’s 10th annual Ride of Silence is a slow round-trip procession that takes riders from Brookside to Westport and back to Brookside.
