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

Wherever you ride, we ride in unity.

Comment by Chicago Ride of Silence on October 18, 2010 at 12:55pm: Please mark your calendars for a fall ride - the Chicago Ghost Bikes Ride. I think this ride would be a great time to assess the condition of each bike and keep on top of each bike's maintenance - maybe even designating certain folks to check up on the bikes regularly.
