I literally just got the info for this ride emailed to me. Sorry for the short notice.
The Ride of Silence is in remembrance of those that didn't get to complete their journey.
From the Facebook event page:
THE RIDE OF SILENCE WILL NOT BE QUIET
On May 18, 2011 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.
The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph and remain silent during the ride. There are no sponsors and no registration fees. The ride, which is held during National Bike Month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for those who have been killed or injured.
Ride info: Wednesday, May 18 · 7:00pm - 8:30pm.
