On October 31 a driver drove a truck onto the Hudson River Greenway
Bike Path at Houston Street and intentially struck many cyclists and

We installed a ghost bike for the 8 cyclists that lost their lives that day on the greenway at Canal street.
One cyclist killed that day was Nicholas Cleves
He was remembered in several articles, including those published in Vanity Fair and in the Washington Post
He had recently graduated from Skidmore College, which posted rememberences of him
According to the AP News:
The only New Yorker
killed in the attack, Nicholas Cleves, 23, graduated last year from
Skidmore College with a degree in computer science and died not far from
his home in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. He was a software engineer
and web developer.
Cleves
described himself on his Facebook page as a “nerdy white boy.” The most
recent photo posted there showed him posing with some friends next to a
Darth Vader figure at a Star Wars exhibit.
He had been working as a software engineer for the Unified Digital Group.
Cleves
attended the Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School, a
progressive school in New York, from kindergarten through 12th grade,
and later was a part-time member of its information technology staff.
The school’s director, Phil Kassen, wrote on Facebook that Cleves was “just the nicest person to have around.”
“Nicholas
was kind, caring, curious, interested, and a great friend,” Klassen
wrote. “He always had a kind word when you would pass him in the hall,
and the biggest smile, and always offered to help, no matter the
situation.”
Cleves’
Italian-born mother, Monica Missio, is the owner of a lighting design
company in New York. Klassen said she was an engaged parent who helped
lead many of the school’s art auctions.
Cleves’
father, British-born Richard Cleves, died in 2013. He was Missio’s
business partner, and was remembered by Klassen for creating “the most
wondrous and scariest haunted houses” for the school’s Halloween Fair.

According to the NY Post Nicholas's mother missed a memorial for the victims of this attack because she was not informed of its occurence in time to attend.
