Ride of Silence - May 18, 2016 - 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.

TIME: Gather at 6:00 pm; Depart at 6:30pm

Hey everyone. We're only 6 days away from the 2009 event. Please join us in Chicago, Arlington Heights, Joliet, Downers Grove, Evanston or even Peoria. I want to publically thank Elizabeth for all her work on this to make it happen. We're hoping for a big crowd this year in Chicago and Arlington Heights and it wouldn't happen without her help. It is a somber event where we can reflect on others who have been killed or injured while cycling, whether they be racers, messengers, commuters, recreational riders, mountain bikers or simply take a cruise around the neighborhood. Let the silence roar. Gary

Now available from our webpage -- print out double-sided fliers to pass out. Fliers print 6 per page.

Tell those other cyclists you pass on the road to join. Laminate and stick in your spokes!

If I can, then sure! What do you need me (this group) to do?

Yes, plan to finish again this year at Western and Augusta. I will be sure our route passes Mandy's bike. Thanks to all who work on the Ghost Bikes!

The one in Arlington Heights, as I live in the NW 'burbs (in Schaumburg).

Thanks Alan! Which ride will you be attending?

I'm done making the (simple inner-tube) armbands: 300 for the Chicago and 100 for the Arlington Heights rides ...
Comment by Alan Lloyd on April 14, 2009 at 6:36am
My armband count now stands at 200 ...
