They say "it" gets easier but it doesn't; it just becomes different. We love hearing what you, Sylvia's friends, are doing. We live Sylvia's hopes and dreams through you. We are so proud of all the exciting paths you're charting for your lives. We love to hear about the children and grandchildren of you, our contemporaries. Though every day is hard, we stay very busy. It's our best medicine. Thank you all for your good wishes. Without friends and close family members, we would never be able to get through the day. The pictures are of Sylvia in Mali in 2006.

We'd like to bring it back to life and want to encourage you to submit posts. In less than a month, it will be what would have been Sylvia's 27th birthday. Once again, we will celebrate her life. The event will be at our house Sunday April 27 from noon to 4 pm - a potluck brunch and desserts. Look for an invitation but if you don't get one, let us know if you can come. We are hoping to raise funds for the Sylvia Bingham Fund which has given away almost all the donations people have made. (Thank you for them!). See http://www.sylviabinghamfund.org/grantsawarded.php for a listing of grants made. In the meantime, please post any thoughts to this blog. Memories are always precious. Thanks!

As many of you know by now, the criminal trial has once more been postponed from April 13, with no new trial date set. The criminal defense attorney was in the middle of a murder trial that itself had been postponed. There will be a hearing with witnesses on May 2 to consider the defendant's motion to suppress all evidence relating to the urine drug test of the defendant that revealed he had over 16 times the legal limit of marijuana metabolites in him. The argument to suppress? The test was conducted by a company that was not licensed by the State of Ohio, even though the tests were done pursuant to regulations of the US Department of Transportation. The new trial date won't even be set until the hearing occurs on May 2. The disfunctionality of the criminal justice system is unbelievable and very discouraging for Francoise and me. This is perhaps the sixth or seventh postponement of the trial. Sylvia was killed by the driver over 19 months ago. Francoise and I will of course be going to the hearing. <br /><br />Meanwhile, a second round of grants from the Sylvia Bingham Fund is about to be made. The names of the organizations will be posted on the website shortly. <br /><br />Please remember Sylvia on what would have been her 24th birthday on April 22, Earthday. We still love to receive remembrances of time spent with her. Her spirit burns brightly and we want it to do so always.Steve Binghamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09361959148756683442noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459443075481065829.post-88523752397529556802011-01-30T11:10:00.000-08:002011-01-30T11:16:16.857-08:00Criminal Trail set for Feb. 28The criminal trial of the driver who killed Sylvia is set for February 28. See the comment to the last post. The driver was allowed to withdraw his guilty plea. The civil trail against the driver and his employer, Leff Electric, will hopefully happen in late spring. Francoise and I will of course be in Cleveland for both trials and would love to hear from any of you.

He was sentenced to four years. We indicated that we would not object to him serving only 30 months in prison if he then performs a supervised community service obligation for another 18 months. We said it was our strong desire that the service he is ordered to perform relate to the bike/vehicle street safety issues we now so very much care about. We are of course relieved that the defendant took responsibility for his actions and hope that his sentence sends a loud message to drivers that conduct due to drugs or recklessness that causes the death of someone on a bicycle will have severe consequences.<br /><br />We are surrounded by Sylvia's friends here in Cleveland. Today, September 15, on the one-year anniversary of her death, we will participate in a memorial bike bike traveling the route Sylvia was taking exactly a year ago on her way to work at Hard-Hatted Women. Friday we will participate in a city-wide festival to promote sustainable transportation in Cleveland (the second item at this link: <strong><a href="http://www.gcbl.org/planning-development-projects/city-sustainability-program" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153); text-decoration: none; ">http://www.gcbl.org/planning-development-projects/city-sustainability-program</a></strong>).<br /><br />Thanks to all of you who sent notes to us.

Sylvia's name is on the memorial page listing hundreds of people killed on bikes. People from all over the country are organizing rides that will begin at 7 pm local time.<br /><br />I hope all of you will find ways, large and small, to participate and/or encourage others to participate in a ride near you. If a ride is not organized near you, you can organize your own and have it posted on the Ride of Silence website for others to see and join. It doesn't have to be a big event. Five people riding together and reflecting on those who died biking, especially Sylvia, would mean much to Francoise and me.<br /><br />We still have "I Ride for Sylvia" T-shirts we could mail out, $10 each to cover cost plus mailing. One shirt free to the organizer of a ride. This amount for the shirts should be in a check to me as we haven't integrated the sale of the shirts into the Foundation's finances. Any additional tax-deductible amount you'd like to contribute should follow donation directions on the website www.sylviabinghamfoundation.org. We plan soon to shift money to another foundation but the instructions on the site are still good. <br /><br />For those of you not able to be with us on April 24, we had a wonderful gathering of family and friends to remember Sylvia whose 23d birthday was Earth Day, 4/22. We planted a fig tree in our back yard in her memory and included some of Sylvia's ashes. The tree is thriving as are many other plants that guests brought. We also raised funds for the Haiti Emergency Relief Fund, something we know Sylvia would have supported. A couple of pictures are pasted below.<br /><br />Thank you all for whatever you can do on May 19,<br /><br />SteveDorothy Benderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10444200430970885357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459443075481065829.post-50269933858595420882010-04-22T11:39:00.000-07:002010-04-22T11:41:39.203-07:00Happy Birthday Dear Sylvia<em>A Great Soul Serves Everyone All The Time</em><br /><em>A Great Soul Never Dies</em><br /><em>It Brings Us Together Again and Again</em><br /><br /><br />Maya AngelouDorothy Benderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10444200430970885357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459443075481065829.post-16027930225456652252010-01-18T01:15:00.000-08:002010-01-18T01:16:03.721-08:00Message from Steve and Francoise, Jan 16, 2010We are Sylvia's parents. We haven't posted on this blog as we're not bloggers but we would love to hear from anyone who knew Sylvia and has a story to tell - funny, sad, irreverant, about food, green politics, knitting, whatever! Sylvia's tastes were eclectic and we know her friends were also.An update from us: we spent 3 days over Christmas holidays with Sylvia's friends in Cleveland. Wonderful people. We spent time in Connecticut and saw Sylvia's grave stone for the first time. Very hard to look at but it has a flower and butterfly on the back side. We'll post some pictures on the website. We both returned to work in October. Hard to do but necessary and in some way good for us. We miss Sylvia so very much but cherish our memories of her - and yours.

The Foundation will promote safety for cyclists and pedestrians by educating drivers about sharing the road with cyclists and pedestrians and educating cyclists on defensive personal safety techniques. The Foundation will also work with others to encourage state and federal transportation agencies, city and county planners, legislators and policy makers to provide for cyclist safe zones and other engineering controls in areas of high traffic to reduce the risk of injury.<br />.Dorothy Benderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10444200430970885357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459443075481065829.post-8275062191371663342009-09-27T10:55:00.000-07:002009-09-27T11:07:16.393-07:00Follow the Cleveland Blog To Honor Sylvia<a href="http://iridefor.blogspot.com/">http://iridefor.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Follow the blog from friends in Cleveland put together to continue to honor Sylvia’s memory and help build momentum for better biking conditions.<br />.Dorothy Benderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10444200430970885357noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459443075481065829.post-20974040992699982522009-09-24T11:10:00.000-07:002009-09-24T11:24:22.536-07:00I RIDE FOR SYLVIA tee shirts<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EPZp9HwsIdM/Sru4XPnTlBI/AAAAAAAABDs/EFWLtUDhCyQ/s1600-h/DSC02288.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EPZp9HwsIdM/Sru4XPnTlBI/AAAAAAAABDs/EFWLtUDhCyQ/s400/DSC02288.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385100488919454738" border="0" /></a><br />Two riders, Jacob and his friend, at Sylvia's house before the memorial ride on Tuesday, September 22 in Cleveland.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EPZp9HwsIdM/Sru3iUup7wI/AAAAAAAABDk/ci8MIM0ax6I/s1600-h/DSC02267.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EPZp9HwsIdM/Sru3iUup7wI/AAAAAAAABDk/ci8MIM0ax6I/s400/DSC02267.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385099579759390466" border="0" /></a><br />Alex Nosse holding up a freshly-printed "I Ride For Sylvia" Tee Shirt.Dorothy Benderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10444200430970885357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459443075481065829.post-85645673191538142952009-09-23T22:41:00.001-07:002009-09-23T22:42:54.966-07:00Donations to BACLF "In Sylvia Bingham's Honor"<div><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" ><em>BACLF, a foundation in northern California, has agreed to accept checks for the future Sylvia Bingham Foundation.

Jill's boyfriend David is holding her. (Alex, Sylvia's new boyfriend, is David's brother). In the second picture is Sylvia's bike, painted white. Wikipedia has a good piece on the history of white "ghost bikes." At the memorial ride in the bay area, we will place Sylvia's San Rafael ghost bike at a dangerous street corner. In the last slide, the bike is attached to a pole at the corner of 21st and Prospect where the accident happened. Though not visible in the slides, the T-shirts were printed with "I ride for Sylvia."<br /><br />Thank you everyone for all the warm, wonderful emails and calls. They have meant so much to us. At some point we'll try to reply to you. If you haven't yet written, please don't feel you need to. We feel your support.<br /><br />Steve and Francoise.<br /><br />ps later today there will certainly be posted the video clips from Channel 5's coverage.
