Eleven Unknown Cyclists Killed in 2007

In a newspaper article we learned that the NYPD reported at the beginning of November that 20 cyclists had lost their lives on New York City streets in 2007.
At that time, we knew about 12 deaths in 2007 from news reports and contact from friends and family. Since then 3 more NYC cyclists were killed at the end of the year.
We dedicated a ghost bike on Sunday January 6, 2008 to remember these 8 unknown cyclists as well as 1 cyclist who died at an unknown location on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens on Tuesday, February 27, 2007:

An unidentified cyclist was killed in the Elmhurst section of Queens when a man driving a sedan ran into him as both were traveling east on Roosevelt Avenue.
After police arrived at the scene at 2:30 p.m., the cyclist was rushed to New York Booth Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead about an hour later.
The driver, who remained at the scene of the accident, wasn't suspected of causing the collision, police said.

Information from The New York Sun, February 28, 2007, Pg. 4.
This ghost bike was still there on Monday but was removed at some time before the morning of Tuesday January 8, 2008. Only the cut lock remained behind.
In January 2008 the DOT released statistics that show that more cyclists were killed in 2008 than in any of the past 8 years and that 136 pedestrians were killed on NYC streets.
If you have information on an unreported cyclist death, please contact us.

Through later reports, we learned that a total of 25 cyclists were killed in 2007.
