Ride of Silence - May 15, 2024 - One day. One time. World wide.
Join the annual Ride of Silence, an organized annual cycling procession honoring those that have been injured or killed. The goal is to raise awareness that we are here, and to ask that we all share the road.
Save the date for the 2025 Chicago Ride Of Silence - May 21, 2025
Our route typically passes several 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.
DATE: May 15, 2024 (always the 3rd Wednesday of May)
TIME: Gather at 6:00 pm
WHERE: Hundreds of locations world wide; Dickens Greenway Plaza in Lincoln Park, Chicago

I was just about to post the Yehuda link when I saw yours. The Evanston ride will take place rain, shine or moon. Nice misty ride in this morning.
