The Halifax Cycling Coalition is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Nouman Ali, a member of Halifax's cycling community who was killed last week on Strawberry Hill Street when a driver opened their door into his path.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, students, and everyone who is mourning his loss. Every person who rides a bike in this city deserves to get home safely.
