Why is this ride so important?
Take a look at any ghost bike and you'll know.
Have you ever been hit or know someone who has?
Post your story here! We ride for you, in unity.
Let the silence roar!

The Chicago ride seeks donations/sponsorship/funding to help cover the cost of the event's ride insurance. As a stand alone ride, the cost would be minimal per rider expense, but this ride remains completely free and open to all. So... we reach out to the community for help, suggestions, contributions. One idea I received from family was to seek sponsorship from the auto industry for our ride; like the idea - could it work?
Shoot me your ideas.
Any shops/clubs/groups with ride insurance willing to sponsor the ride?
Monday, March 30 at 7:30pm, is the next planning meeting at REI. See ya there!
