Le’s would ride her bicycle to deliver healthy farm-fresh vegetables to the needy in the area and advocated for more women to start bicycling.
SAN JOSE – After beloved volunteer and avid cycler Ellen Le was tragically killed by an SUV driver while riding last month, volunteers from Veggielution Eastside Connect and Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition planted a tree in honor of her dedication to helping others.
“It meant enough to her that she spent her time here. It meant enough to the people here that they sort of erected almost what I would consider a shrine. And it’s nice especially because she’s been cremated,” he said. “It’s nice to have almost a physical landmark of something to visit back.” “I’ve never met a single person that impacted so many people,” he said, adding she not only impacted the cycling community but her work community and family and friends.
At the same time, they are encouraging more people, especially women, to start cycling, something Le did. Palatto, who knew Le as a “great volunteer,” said Le “wanted to help everyone,” and she came to the volunteer often with her group of bicycle friends, and they delivered food boxes to the community.
