50. In this clip from our recent walk/record over the London Bridge, Linda shares that “just today” on this anniversary of Harry’s passing, she sent Eddy King an urn with Harry’s ashes in it. Eddy plans on giving the ashes to gOrk at the Hall of Fame ceremony. Linda felt that “it needed to be there” and Kyle mentions that “he won’t be the first set of ashes there.” 

We invite you to listen to our recent conversation about BMX legend Harry Leary with one of his sisters, Linda Leary Taylor, while walking over the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, AZ.
