In 2003, Chris Phelan organized the first Ride of Silence in Dallas after endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz was hit by the mirror of a passing bus and killed.
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. During National Bike Month, the ride aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police, and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for those killed or injured.
As of 2010, this has become an international event, with riders worldwide joining in solidarity to honor those who have died in bicycle accidents.
This event occurs on the third Wednesday in May unless rained out, and the alternate day is the Saturday following the third Sunday.
