DESCRIPTION:

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 was 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. 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.

As of 2010 this has become an international event with riders throughout the world joining in solidarity to honor those whom have died in bicycle accidents.

This event occurs on the third Wednesday in May, unless it is rained out. The alternate day is the Saturday following the third Sunday.
