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.
Save the date for the 2017 Chicago Ride Of Silence - May 17, 2017
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; Depart at 6:30pm

One day. One Time. World wide.
Communities throughout Chicagoland participate in the Ride of Silence including: Arlington Heights, Bartlett, Elk Grove Village, Evanston, Joliet, Oak Park and Peoria.
Wherever you ride, we ride in unity.

Ghost Bike Installation tomorrow night in Jefferson Park: http://www.thechainlink.org/forum/topics/ghost-bike-installation-su...
ROS-Chicago already received an email from a friend of this cyclist who was killed. The news article certainly does blame the cyclist...

In the meantime, what can we do to make that stretch of Devon safer and more traffic calming? If you live in that Ward - let your Alderman know that you want safer streets for cycling.
ROS will have a table under the Big Top Tent this Sunday at Bike the Drive and we're seeking helpers to staff the table from 8am-noon. We hope to see you out on a car-free LSD.
