24th ANNIVERSARY RIDE OF SILENCE Registration Required
Once again, Sussex Cyclists is participating in the Ride of Silence. This is a worldwide, silent, slow-paced ride (max. 12 mph) in honor of those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways.
WHEN: Wed. May 21st, 6:45 PM Clip-In
WHERE: Cape Henlopen High School
WHY DOES THE RIDE OF SILENCE ORGANIZATION EXIST?
WHAT IS THE RIDE OF SILENCE?
On Wed. May 20, at 7:00 PM, the Ride of Silence will traverse and unite the globe as nothing before it. 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.
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, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road and remain silent during the ride. There are 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 and honor the lives of those who have been killed or injured.
