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 2017 Chicago Ride Of Silence - May 17, 2017
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 17, 2017 (always the 3rd Wednesday of May)
TIME: Gather at 6:00 pm; Depart at 6:30pm
WHERE: Hundreds of locations world wide; Eternal Flame (Daley Plaza) in Chicago
One day. One Time. World wide.
Communities throughout Chicagoland participate in the Ride of Silence including: Arlington Heights, Bartlett, Elk Grove Village, Evanston, Joliet, Oak Park and Peoria.
Wherever you ride, we ride in unity.

Thank you, Gary , for suggesting the Ghost Bike group.
We welcome any and all support from the cycling community in this request for help placing a ghost bike. All of our ghost bikes are the direct result of the community rallying together. Thank you!
Thanks Gary, will do.
i suggest posting to the Chicago Ghost Bike group rather than the ride of silence group.
Hi, I'm hoping for a little help. I was contacted this morning by Lindy Korner, widow of cyclist Joseph Korner who was bicycling north near 3559 North Lincoln in Lakeview when he was hit by a car. She is asking for my help to have a ghost bike built for her husband. Here's the background information: http://www.thechainlink.org/forum/topics/bicyclist-dies-more-than-a...
She reached out to Ride of Silence to request a ghost bike and hasn't heard back yet. I realize the group must be quite busy, could someone let me know what the best way is to start the process so that Lindy can have a memorial ghost bike set up for her husband? Much appreciated. Thank you.
