The 2-ton, 14-foot long beam is to become part of the memorial to the victims of United Airlines Flight 93 who died during the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The bikers are members of the New York City Fire Riders. They embarked on their "Iron & Steel Run" at about 7 a.m. Saturday from Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn en route to Shanksville, Pa., where the memorial will be built next to the local volunteer fire company
