For five years now, hundreds of bikers connect for a cruise through several Western Pennsylvania communities. It’s called the Shaw Ride, a charity ride to honor New Kensington Police Officer Brian Shaw.
In 2017, Shaw was shot and killed in the line of duty.
“I did know Brian and so it’s something we could use to extend what he meant to the community, and this is a reflection of who Brian was… a kind giant here, service was his lifestyle,” said Shaw Ride organizer Terry McClain.
Shaw’s life and passing inspired a brotherhood of bikers to carry out his commitment to service.
“He was well loved, not only as a police officer but he was well loved as a person. He was a community-oriented police officer, he was hands-on,” said Eric Felack, event communications coordinator.
