July 9-10, 2011 – In Memory of Zachary Manago

In December 2010, an 18-year old Hawaii Pacific University student named Zachary Manago was killed in a hit and run crash near Wahiawa. Manago was with a group of cyclists on a round-the-island ride on a Friday night when he was hit by a white SUV on Kamehameha Highway. He was pronounced dead at Wahiawa general hospital.

On July 9 and 10, the Hawaii Bicycling League , with the support of the Manago family, held a Ride in Paradise in memory of Zach . For these 2 days, over 100 cyclists, including Mayor Peter Carlisle, participated each day, covering 144 miles around Oahu.  Our sincere hope is that one day, Zach’s vision for a bicycle safe Hawaii will become true.  :: Ride in Paradise ::
