The 2009 Ride of Silence is this Wednesday, May 20th at 7 PM. It’s a ride in honor of those killed or injured while riding a bike. I believe we need to raise awareness of cycling safety issues.

The ride is slow paced with a maximum speed of 12 mph so anyone can take part. You can also ride any kind of bike.

I’ve participated in the local Ride of Silence 2 out of the last 3 years. There are 260 rides in the US and more internationally. There isn’t one listed for Colorado Springs this year but I’m checking to see if anyone is organizing one.

Update: David Peal is helping me organizing a Ride of Silence for Colorado Springs this year. Meet at Old Town Bike Shop at 6:45 PM. The route will include going to the ghost bikes where EJ and Jayson were hit last year.
