Honor Shiloh: 500 Cyclists Rally for Road Safety | Montpelier News

Five hundred cyclists flooded Burlington’s streets last Wednesday in a powerful, two-mile tribute to Shiloh Skalka, the 16-year-old art-loving teen killed by a car while riding her e-bike. Starting at the accident site — now marked by a ghost bike — riders turned rush hour into a moving statement for road safety and cyclist rights. Shiloh’s father honored her passion for biking and seeing the world, while signs urged drivers to slow down and pay attention. Her death, organizers say, could’ve happened to anyone — a chilling reminder of shared vulnerability on the road. A memorial fund in her name has already raised over $100K, and community members are rallying to show up for the driver’s court date — turning grief into a call for change.
