Rider of the Clouds


How The Initiative Began 

On March 16, 2012, a 21 year old wonderful young man , John “Jack”
Santopietro died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle/motor vehicle collision.
The grieving mom & dad, Margaret & George Abrams felt an urgency to do
something that would  bring motorcycle awareness to the community and
commemorate the lives of motorcyclists whose lives had been lost as a result of
motorcycle/motor vehicle accidents in hopes of decreasing motorcycle fatalities. 
 
After much brainstorming, they decided to create 21 free-standing, life-sized
black wooden motorcycle figures, each one bearing the name of a motorcyclist who
once lived, worked, had neighbors, friends, family, children --whose life ended
tragically . They created “Rider of the Clouds” . 
 
The Goal

The goal of Rider of the Clouds is to decrease
motorcycle fatalities by bringing awareness & education to communities on
motorcycle safety and the responsibilities of a motorist.  The hope is to
eventually have all  states participating in the “Rider of the
Clouds
” initiative. 

The Debut

The debut of Rider of the Clouds took place on July  14, 2012
