Chicago Ride of Silence
Wednesday, May 19, 7 PM, 2010
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. We're already looking ahead to the 2010 Chicago Ride Of Silence which will gather at the Eternal Flame in Daley Plaza on Wednesday, May 19, at 6:30 PM and depart at 7 PM.
The 10-mile route is set to pass the sites of crash victims. Many of the sites are marked by 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 19, 2010
TIME: Gather at 6:30; Depart at 7:00 pm
WHERE: Hundreds of locations world wide; Eternal Flame (Daley Plaza) in Chicago
One day. One Time. World wide.
In 2009 the Ride of Silence hosted rides in the following Chicagoland locations: Arlington Heights, Downers Grove, Joliet, and Evanston.
Ride of Silence: Chicago 2008
Over a hundred cyclists gathered around the Eternal Flame in Daley Plaza, we traveled up Lincoln Ave to the Ghost Bike for Matthew Manger-Lynch.
The ride heads south to the Ghost Bike for Tyler Fabeck, we then continue to pass the sites where Bianca Ocasio, Amanda Annis, and Isai Medina were taken.
