More about Kirsten Malone
I seem to keep crossing paths with Kirsten Malone, even through I’ve never met her and, sadly, she’s no longer alive.

Memorial for a Downed Cyclist
While riding over the I-90 footbridge this weekend, I came across a memorial for Kirsten Malone, a young woman killed on Saturday when she was struck by a car, apparently in the area where the down ramp meets the frontage road–not the safest interchange for bikers.
