Ride of Silence 2010

Date: Wednesday — May 19, 2010Ride of Silence Logo

Time: 7 PM

Event: Ride of Silence

Location: North America and across the globe

Entry Fees: No registration Fee

Routes: 8-12 Miles

History: The 2003 Ride of Silenceâ„¢ at White Rock Lake in Dallas drew 1,000 cyclists through word of mouth and email communication over a period of only ten days. There was no registration and no fees. Local media reported the ride to be incredibly moving as these cyclists rode in silence, occasionally wiping away a tear or patting a friend on the back.

Chris Phelan, a friend of Mr. Schwartz and the person responsible for starting this initiative, thought the ride was a one-time event. However, as word got out other cyclists began to contact him with a desire to do the same thing in their own communities.

Benefits: Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn’t aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.
