Description

Ride of Silence - May 16, 2012 - One day. One time. World wide.

(always the 3rd Wednesday of May):

On one night in cities around the world, cyclists gather annually to ride in silence to raise awareness of cyclists' right to ride on the road and to honor the fallen cyclists no longer with us. We ride in hope to end the tragedy on our roads. Chicago's Ride of Silence will ride in silent procession past several Chicago Ghost Bikes.

The 12-mile route is set to pass the sites of crash victims marked by Ghost Bikes, which are powerful memorials to fallen cyclists created by painting a bicycle white and placing it at or near the site of the cyclist’s death.

Gather at 6pm, Depart at 7pm
Eternal Flame in Daley Plaza

A post-ride gathering will be held at the small gym in the Hamlin Park Field House.

All riders, family and friends are invited to join us after this year’s ROS for a post-ride gathering at Hamlin Park (end point of this year’s route).

The route map will be posted closer to the date of the ride. And a map will be included on the flyers distributed night-of the ride at the starting point of Daley Plaza.

What did you think of the post-ride gathering last year at the Hamlin Park fieldhouse?

We are working to possibly reserve that space again this year... Please let us know.

Are you all ordering your ROS jersey??? &/or T-shirt?

See www.rideofsilence.org/chicago for links to order.

As a reminder, jersey orders MUST be received by Monday, April 23.

T-shirt orders should be placed by the end of April to allow enough time to produce and ship (the t-shirt producer is a print on-demand company, so the shirts are customizable - can even order a sweatshirt if you prefer).

Free Yoga on Wednesdays will not be scheduled for May 16 so that yogis can participate in the ride.
