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.

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.

TIME: Gather at 6:00 pm
WHERE: Hundreds of locations world wide; Dickens Greenway Plaza in Lincoln Park, Chicago

Anyone going to the new Mayor's inauguration? Pass him an ROS flyer and invite him to ride with us to show his support for safe cycling in Chicago.

Ride of Silence now has rides in all 50 states. The last two (Utah and Idaho) registered today. There are rides in many other countries around the work. New in 2011 Bucharest Romania. By riding with us on Wednesday, you join many thousands of other cyclists riding on Wedneday at 7PM local time to make cyclists visible and honor those who have perished.
Join us in Arlington Heights, Chicago, Joliet, Bartlett, Evanston, Oak Park, Downers Grove, Peoria, Urbana....
