Panel 1: A woman with a long braid biking up a hill. On the side of the road, a dumpster is engulfed in flames. The caption reads ‘2020.’

Panel 2: The same woman looking at the news on a smartphone. Headlines read, 'Quarantine Reaches Day 100;' 'Wildfires Engulf West Coast;' and 'Thousands Take to the Streets to Protest Racial Injustice.' The caption reads 'It's been a heck of a year.'

A caption reads 'But bicycling has made it better.' A map of the Washington, D.C. region showing DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Inset boxes from each region show different people biking. In Virginia, a woman hauling groceries on a cargo trike passes a sign that says 'Reduced Metro Service.' In Maryland, a man in hospital scrubs with an RN badge unlocks his bike outside a sign reading 'Emergency Room.' In DC, a parent rides behind a child on a trail, both wearing masks.

Caption: 'It connects us' The woman who we previously saw hauling groceries poses for a photo outside the US Capitol Building.

Caption: 'to adventures in nature' The nurse does a wheelie on a trail.

Caption: 'to new places' The parent rides their bike past a river, with the Washington Monument, US Capitol, and Jefferson memorial in the distance.

Caption: 'to our neighbors and friends.'

The woman we saw biking past the trash fire is now riding downhill on a group ride: the nurse, the parent, and grocery shopper are all riding in front of her. Beyond them in one direction is a forest; in the other, the Washington, DC city skyline.

Caption: Biking is for everyone! When you give to WABA, you’re making your ride, and her ride, their ride, and his ride BETTER.

Thank you for coming on this ride.

We saw incredible victories for safer streets, better bicycling, and a more sustainable, equitable region this year.

Change for the better in 2022.

WABA saw incredible victories in 2021. We’re going to keep up the momentum in 2022 and see even more bold change that puts people first.

WABA Staff

The Remembrance Wall featured artwork by Chelsea Ritter-Soronen of Chalk Riot and invited visitors throughout the week to honor loved ones, commemorate a crash, thank a first responder who helped in the immediate aftermath of a crash, and share hopes for safe streets. All were welcome to participate regardless of when, where, or how a particular crash occurred.
