Tonight, multiple communities in Michigan will join in the Ride of Silence, an annual ride that happens around the world to honor people who have been killed or injured while riding a bicycle on a public highway or road. Additionally, the Ride of Silence is intended to serve as a reminder, or raise awareness, of the presence of bicycles and the right of bicyclists to use public roadways.
All rides follow the Ride of Silence format, which means that the pace will be no faster than 12 mph, participants are required to wear helmets, and all riders must remain silent throughout the ride. Local rides participating in the international Ride of Silence include:
