Description

The Chicago Ride of Silence will offer a remote gathering at 5:30pm at Queens Landing to ride up the Lakefront Trail to the OFFICIAL START at Dickens Greenway Plaza for a 6:00pm start and departure.

Please register to let us know you're coming.

We will process in silence on a route through the north and northwest sides of the city to honor those who have been killed or injured while riding on our public roadways. Post-Ride at Sleeping Village.

This ride advocates for motorists to share the roads with cyclists. It will also highlight crash sites of bicyclists and pedestrians. (NOTE: The Ride will not return to the start point)

Post ride gathering will honor those victims without ghost bikes or whose crash sites not visited. We will also honor the life of Chicago cycling legend George Christensen who was killed while riding on April 22.

FREE to attend. ALL are welcome.

Thank you to Active Transportation Alliance, Streetsblog Chicago, SAFE Ambassadors, Ashland Addison Florist, and all supporters of this annual event.
