The Ride of Silence reminds motorists that cyclists share the roadways and have a legal right to do so. The Ride of Silence builds a wareness of the legal rights of bicyclists and encourages our community to join the growing trend of finding alternatives to driving to work, undertaking healthy recreation and doing something positive to reduce global warming.
