The 8th annual International Ride of Silence will take place Wednesday, May 18, at 7pm. Cyclists around the world will convene at for local memorial rides, to honor those injured or killed while bicycling. Participants will wear black armbands and ride together, parade-style, in silence, for several miles.
This event is always the third Wednesday in May.
So far, these Rides of Silence are planned for Virginia:
- Broadway
- Fredericksburg
- Hampton
- Harrisonburg
- Norfolk, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach
- Radford
- Virginia Beach
While the ride itself is solemn, it’s an inspirational event that’s often followed by a festive get-together, in the tradition of an Irish wake. We encourage all cyclists to participate in their local Ride of Silence, or to organize one if there isn’t one.
