Ride of Silence
7 PM
On May 19, 2010, at 7:00 PM, the Ride of Silence will begin in North America and roll across the globe. 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 are not aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.
In 2003, Chris Phelan organized the first Ride of Silence in Dallas after endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz was hit by the mirror of a passing bus and was killed.
The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph and remain silent during the ride. There are no sponsors and no registration fees. The ride, which is held during National Bike Month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for those who have been killed or injured. For more information follow this link...
The ride will start at Mountain View Park at Lindsay & Adobe in Mesa and will head south to Freestone Park & back. Helmets are required as are lights since the ride is partially at night. We will depart at 7:00PM and will ...ride no faster that 10-12mph. All cycling levels are welcome. Last year there were about 75 riders and we hope to help make it more this year. Join us....
