The cycling community of Dane County will be holding an informal memorial
ride at 5:30pm on Friday July 8th starting at the capital square at the
corner of State Street in Madison. The ride will proceed around downtown
to remember those pedestrians and bicyclists who have died recently AND
to celebrate biking and walking. The event is open to the public and we
encourage everyone who knew Jessica Bullen or any other person who has
died in a crash, and all those who love bicycling and walking, to attend.
For those who have not yet heard:
Jessica Bullen died Sunday, July 3, 2005, from injuries
sustained in a bicycle accident. She was surrounded by
those who loved her. Jessica was 29 years old and
accomplished a great deal in her short life. She grew
up in Dexter Mich., lived in Chicago and traveled
extensively before settling in Madison. She graduated
with honors from Earlham College in 1998 and finished
her graduate work in the Urban and Regional Planning
Department at the University of Wisconsin this spring.
In recognition of her contributions to the department,
Jessica received the Outstanding Student of the Year
award from the Urban Planning faculty. Jessica's
thoughtful and caring nature was apparent in her
relationships with her friends and family as well as
in her professional activities. She delighted those
close to her with her youthful exuberance, playfulness
and curiosity about the world around her. She poured
her unlimited energy into local activities, such as
the Quann community garden, promotion of public
transportation and bicycle use. In her free time
Jessica enjoyed riding her bicycle, cooking,
photography, and exploring the outdoors. Jessica will
be remembered by her partner, Michael Fay; her father,
William; her mother, Shirley; her sister, Laura; her
grandmother, Elsie Bullen-Klepper; and many other
friends and family members. In
lieu of flowers, please make Wisconsin a better place
to bike by giving a donation in Jessica's memory to
