BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Members of Buffalo's cycling community are honoring one of their own with a special ride.
Slow Roll typically hosts public rides every week throughout the summer. During the winter, the group limits rides to once a month, "Snow Rides."
Saturday's Snow Ride was dedicated to Lydia Sobczyk, a leader within Slow Roll Buffalo who passed away recently.
"She's much beloved," said rider Rick Lesniak. "A really sweet person who had a very difficult year."
Lesniak said this was a way to keep her spirit alive by exchanging memories of Lydia.
"That's the best way to remember people," said Lesniak. "Their body may not be with us any longer, but their spirit lives on in our thoughts and in our memories and the stories we share."
A GoFundMe was created to help Lydia's family. You can find that online here.
