8 minutes and 46 seconds of silence for George Floyd at Battery Park during a protest led by Street Riders NYC on June 20, 2020

Street Riders NYC is a collective that formed in June 2020 during the period of civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd.[1][2] The group originated in part out of a need for cyclists to protect other protesters from arrest.[3] Founded by Orlando Hamilton and Peter Kerre, the group brings together over 10,000 bicyclists for weekly protests throughout all boroughs of NYC, seeking to raise awareness about systemic racism and police brutality.[4] Made up entirely of volunteers, the group has their own medics, mechanics, and traffic blockers available for assistance on the ride.[5]
