Pike on a Bike, The White Line and the Fight for Pedestrian Safety

On July 29, 2023, a reckless driver hit and killed 17-year-old Magnus White, a U.S. National Team Cyclist, on the Diagonal Highway outside of Boulder. To raise awareness of thousands of pedestrians and cyclists killed annually by drivers, White鈥檚 parents,听Michael (EnvDes鈥00) and听Jill White (Mktg鈥99; MOrgMgmt鈥23), created a nonprofit called听.听

In November 2024, the Pi Kappa Alpha (螤KA) fraternity 鈥 known as 鈥漃ike鈥 鈥 held a fundraiser on 麻豆免费版下载Boulder鈥檚 campus for The White Line and to honor Magnus White, who was a friend of several of the fraternity members. For six days, Pike members traded shifts riding outside on a stationary bike, even through a snowstorm. They rode near a memorial of more than 8,400 candles that represented each pedestrian or cyclist killed by a driver in 2023.听

鈥淟ooking out at the 8,423 candles was a true reminder of how valuable every single moment was,鈥 said听Graydon Abel听(Fin鈥27), who helped create the fundraiser with his brother听Gavin听(Fin鈥27) and their fraternity brother听Sebastian Edwards (Econ鈥27). 鈥淐hange is needed, and we hope this effort makes a difference.鈥澨
