Ride of Silence - May 15, 2013 - 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.

The 2013 Chicago Ride Of Silence will gather at the Eternal Flame in Daley Plaza on Wednesday, May 15, at 6 PM and depart at 6:45 PM.

Our route will pass 6 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, 2013 (always the 3rd Wednesday of May)
TIME: Gather at 6:00 pm; Depart at 6:45 pm
WHERE: Hundreds of locations world wide; Eternal Flame (Daley Plaza) in Chicago
One day. One Time. World wide.

In 2011 Chicagoland Ride of Silence locations included: Arlington Heights, Bartlett, Evanston, Joliet, and Peoria.

Wherever you ride, we ride in unity.

Comment by Chicago Ride of Silence on May 14, 2013 at 10:52pm: A map will be posted. Folks will be at Daley until a little past 7 with maps, too.

Comment by Shelley Scott on May 14, 2013 at 10:19pm: Will a map be released ahead of time? (just concerned i may not get to Daley Plaza on time and might need to catch up late)

thanks

Comment by Chicago Ride of Silence on May 14, 2013 at 8:40pm: Hi Everyone... last minute need for a ghost bike to tow in procession with us tomorrow night. Anyone able to help?

This bike would represent all fallen riders who either do not have bikes and whose bikes are not part of our route.
