Race/Related: Honoring the food delivery workers who have died on the job

A fellow worker, or compañero, as they call each other meaning “partner,” had died less than two weeks earlier that September in yet another bicycle wreck on the streets of Manhattan. Delivering food has proved to be a deadly occupation for many of them. Riding bikes at all hours, they get hit by cars and are at constant risk of having accidents and falling prey to crime. The spray-painted bicycle paid homage to Félix Patricio Teófilo, a Mexican immigrant who, like them, made his living pedaling to deliver food. They chained it to the metal railing near the intersection of 47th Street and First Avenue, where he met his end. With that solemn march through the drizzle, Mr. Solano, 39, was adjourning an evening of mourning, fulfilling what he has come to see as a mission: illuminating in death lives that were relegated to the shadows. “We never thought we would be organizing vigils,” Mr. Solano said. “That was never our objective.” Sergio Solano, left, and another food delivery worker on their bicycles in Manhattan in September. He and others started an online page to report on matters affecting others in their line of work. Jeenah Moon for The New York Times Just over three years ago, Mr. Solano and relatives who are also delivery workers started “[El Diario de Los Deliveryboys en La Gran Manzana](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnhQClP0TMaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tL1JlcGFydGlkb3Jlc0RlY29taWRhc0VuTlk_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzcmZW1jPWVkaXRfcnJfMjAyNDAxMTMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTEyNDAzJm5sPXJhY2UlMkZyZWxhdGVkJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTUyMjYmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmWhpXuiZf99YrlSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~),” which translates to “The Journal of the Deliveryboys in the Big Apple,” a Facebook page with aims both practical and informative. The page would act as an online support network, a space to alert of bicycle thefts, traffic accidents and discriminatory encounters reported by Spanish-speaking immigrants who brave the urban frenzy to satisfy a New Yorker’s takeout cravings. Along the way, it would chronicle the job’s twists and turns. Soon after the page was up and running it became clear to Mr. Solano that the project would tell a bigger story: Compañeros die regularly on the job. More than 40 have died since the page went live in late 2020, by Mr. Solano’s latest count. In Mr. Patricio’s case, he hit his head on a curb without a helmet in a solo crash. Food delivery workers were for a brief period celebrated in New York as the Covid-19 pandemic drove life indoors and their services became critical. Delivery apps offered viable income to those who had been laid off from their jobs or had their hours slashed, and for those whose immigration status [complicated obtaining government aid.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnhQClP0TwaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNC8wOC9ueXJlZ2lvbi9jb3ZpZC1yZWxpZWYtdW5kb2N1bWVudGVkLXdvcmtlcnMtbnljLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzcmZW1jPWVkaXRfcnJfMjAyNDAxMTMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTEyNDAzJm5sPXJhY2UlMkZyZWxhdGVkJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTUyMjYmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmWhpXuiZf99YrlSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) As the pandemic lurched on, the dangers of the in-demand work [became glaring](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnhQClP0TraHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wMy8xOS9ueXJlZ2lvbi9jb3JvbmF2aXJ1cy1ueWMtZGVsaXZlcnktd29ya2Vycy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM3JmVtYz1lZGl0X3JyXzIwMjQwMTEzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTExMjQwMyZubD1yYWNlJTJGcmVsYXRlZCZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTU1MjI2JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgploaV7omX_fWK5Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~).

In March 2021, an assailant who was after Mr. Villalva’s bicycle shot him at a park near 108th Street and Third Avenue in Manhattan.
