Join MassBike and the Proctor Family on Sunday, May 11, 2025, to honor the memory of Charlie Proctor and celebrate his life by raising funds for safer roadways. Charlie Proctor was killed while out on a bike ride on May 5, 2020, just nineteen days before his twenty-eighth birthday. He was a kind, adventurous, intelligent man who spread his joy and zest for life to everyone he knew. This memorial ride is an opportunity to ride for Charlie and help make roads safer for all cyclists.
