Wednesday, May 20: Ride of Silence (SOLO)

• COVID-19 Update: Instead of our typical group ride we are encouraging individuals to engage in solo rides or with their household members.”
• View the Event on Facebook
• Please post your photos and rides with the hashtag #RidewithSVBC so that we can share your solo rides and help spread the word about this important annual ride.
• The Ride of Silence will begin in North America and roll across the globe, beginning at 7:00 PM in every time zone. 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.
