Lynn Kristianson Obituary

[sjclaeys]

Some of you may have known Lynn from her role in the Arlington cycling and gardening communities or her work at the Arlington Library. She was struck by a hit and run driver while cycling in Maryland in February 2014 and recently passed away after a complicated recovery. Let’s all be careful and, if you knew Lynn, do a hill ride in her honor.

How does a crime like this go unsolved? There’s no way that you hit two people and their bicycles, nearly killing one, and have no damage to your vehicle. More than one person is complicit in this hit-and-run.

A bike ride to Lynn’s memorial service this Saturday will meet at the Lee-Harrison shopping center at 4:30 (this was the starting point for many of her rides). Riders are encouraged to wear lycra or whatever they would like. The memorial service will be at Arlington Central Library at 5:30.
