Between 150 and 200 cyclists rode along the Manawatu River Bridle Track from The Esplanade to Te Matai Rd yesterday for the Patricia Fraser Memorial Bike Ride.
Mrs Fraser died in November last year when she was struck by a car on State Highway 2 while out cycling with a friend.
Her husband, Joe Fraser, led the ride flanked by his friends and family, who wore T-shirts bearing her name and photo. He rode a bike that was painted white in his wife's honour. He hopes to mount it at the site where she was killed.

Jesse Sergent flew out of New Zealand on Thursday the 27th of January to link up with his fellow Team RadioShack riders for a week-long training camp in Spain. Following the camp, he will head full steam into the Mallorca Challenge, which involves a series of one-day races on the largest of Spain's Balearic islands. The Mallorca Challenge is used by top riders to tune up for the spring tours across Europe. Jesse will also take on the Volta ao Algarve in Portugal from February 16 to 20.

A research project which fitted cameras to bike helmets to observe traffic has confirmed what riders have long suspected—drivers are not paying attention.
Of all the incidents recorded by the cameras drivers were at fault 87 per cent of the time, and in 83 per cent of those cases the drivers appeared oblivious of their errors. Drivers of 4WD vehicles were highly likely to failure to observe cyclists.
