SFDB 2009 Post Of The Year: The Winner



Miami Bike Scene: Rodolfo Rojo


The poll has closed and the winner of the SFDB Post of the Year for 2009, with 431 total votes cast, is Miami Bike Scene's Miami Critical Mass : In Memory of Rodolfo Rojo . I want to congratulate MBS not only for this recognition but for all the great work they do with South Florida's cycling community. I look forward to their videos after every event and I'm happy that this post that included a terribly moving video remembering the late Rodolfo Rojo garnered so much attention in 2009.

I also wanted to shine the spotlight once again on the entire field of nominees in this year's competition. I hope that at some point, you've taken the time to read all the nominated posts to see for yourselves what a great group of talented bloggers we have posting in South Florida. It really was a great year.

On we go into 2010 and a whole new crop of posts that you can bet SFDB will be following as we work through the year.

Happy blogging, everyone!

Congrats to the big winner and all of the monthly winners who were in the race.

Rick, out of curiosity, how did the number of votes stack up against previous years?

Thanks.. I'm glad this story was noticed, I asked all the people on the local bicycle forum to vote , not for me but for Rodolfo (it worked!)

I hope Rodolfo's mother feels a bit better knowing her son's story was recognized.

The motorists which struck & killed Rodolfo was never arrested and only charged with a citation for careless driving.

Thanks to all the bycicle community and to Rydel for a beautiful piece that captured the spirit of the Memorial.
Well deserved honor to a handsome and intelligent teen who lost his life riding along his two best friends.

Rodolfo will never be forgotten.

Everytime we advocate for bike safety and demonstrate peacefully we are honoring his memory.

PLEASE SHARE THE ROAD

Thank you all so much, and I know my brother would be touched to know he will be remembered. The relief of knowing his story will live on brings me such comfort in this time of grief.
Live life to the fullest and share the road.
