Comment by David Barish on May 9, 2013 at 9:52am: Evanston Ride of Silence is partnering with Wheel and Sprocket and the Evanston Bike Club. W&S will be supplying T shirts for our riders and will also host us for a bite and some conversation after we break our silence. Thanks guys and gals! Also, we will be riding to the Blessing of the Bicycles on Sunday May 10 to preview our route. See www.evanstonbikeclub.org for more info. I look forward to meeting the Chicago riders at Heritage this evening.
