At 7 pm local time Laguna will join other communities in 335 locations in 20 countries on 6 continents around the planet in a unique bike ride to raise awareness for bike safety in our home towns - to alert all road users to the number of cyclists killed and injured by motorists unwilling to safely share the road.
