Hundreds of bikers brought their two-wheelers to be blessed at the 12th Annual Blessing of the Bicycles at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in Morningside Heights on Saturday.

The Reverend Canon Thomas Miller sprinkled holy water on the bicycles and offered a blessing for a safe season of riding.

A bagpiper also played as riderless bicycles were brought forward for a moment of silence in remembrance of cyclists who died in accidents this past year.
