Remembering Billy McWilliams: Ghost Bike Dedication

Billy McWilliams had the biggest heart and loved riding his bike, playing video games, playing sports, hanging out with his friends and family, and overall just being outside. He had the biggest smile that lit up any room he walked into. His energy was vibrant and warm, he made everyone around him comfortable and happy, and his laugh was contagious. He is forever loved and missed more than words could ever describe.

Billy McWilliams was 16 when he was hit and killed by a hit and run driver on July 28th, 2023. The intersection where Billy was killed lacked protected bike infrastructure and because of the proximity to the highway, the roadway design encourages the driver to go so fast that when they hit McWilliams, the 16 year old was flung 200 feet away from the site of the crash.

Please join the McWilliams family to remember Billy as we set up a ghost bike in his memory.

At 2pm on 3/29th we will place a bike at the corner of Byberry Rd. and Woodhaven Rd. near 3380 Byberry Rd.
