As we continue to increase membership, we will be asking people to step forward and participate. We're brainstorming, developing our agenda and setting the stage for the next steps.

Ride Of Silence 2012

Submitted by genterb on Tue, 05/01/2012 - 22:10

ride of silence
On May 16, 2012 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 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.

Please join us on May 16th at 7:00 p.m. as we form a single file line of cyclists to ride around Marietta to honor or in memory of those cyclists who have been struck by a car while riding their bicycles.

The route is approx. 10 miles long and we will ride at an average pace of 12 mph. The ride is to be done in COMPLETE SILENCE.

Let's remind motorists that cyclists are out on the roads too and that we all need to be able to share the road safely.
