Street Riders NYC was a collective that formed in June 2020 during theperiod of civil unrest following the murder ofGeorge Floyd.[1][2] The group originated partially out of a desire for bicyclists to prevent other protesters from being arrested.[3] The group was founded by Orlando Hamilton and Peter Kerre. The group at one point saw thousands attending weekly protests throughout the city seeking to raise awareness about systemic racism and police brutality.[4] Made up entirely of volunteers, the group has their own medics, mechanics, and traffic blockers available for assistance on the ride.[5]
