A London cycling group is planning a memorial ride for an 85-year-old man who died days after he was struck by a vehicle in the city's east-end.

Police said Tae-Khun "Thomas" Ha was riding his bike in the area of Dundas and Hale Streets on Jan. 2 when he was struck by a vehicle that fled the scene. Ha died in hospital on Jan. 7.

Police continue to search for the driver.

Cycling advocates of the London Cycle Link and Squeeky Wheel Bike Co-op are set to ride from the London Brewing Co-Operative at 6:30 p.m. on Monday to the area of Dundas and Hale Streets.

Cyclists will observe a moment of silence for Ha at 7 p.m. Monday night.

"We feel it's important in these instances to not let the tragic events go unnoticed because it speaks to the state of our city streets," said chair Bonnie Lee.

Lee said the cyclists are advocating for safe cycling infrastructure such as protected cycle tracks in the city. She said winter cycling makes conditions especially worse.

"The on-street lanes present a challenge for snow removal. When I'm on city streets I see lots of streets or lanes where I know there's bike lanes but it's completely invisible and covered by snow of the just the buffers to ride in."

"This ride is in honour of Tom. As a fellow Londoner who cycles and has family and friends who cycle, Tom's death hits me very close to home," said Daniel Hall, a volunteer at Squeaky Wheel Bike Co-op, in a release on Sunday.

In the event of poor weather conditions, the cyclists will walk the route instead.
