"Remembering Those We've Lost"
San Francisco's annual Ride of Silence is a solemn group ride to honor those injured or killed while biking. This ride continues to reach a global scale, now taking place in over 20 countries in May, with thousands of people riding their bikes to remember, support each other, and heal collectively. This year marks 23 years of the Ride of Silence.
This ride is a silent group ride that is appropriate for all ages and abilities. During the ride, we will stop to lay flowers and observe a moment of silence at the sites of recent biking fatalities and honor those we have lost while spreading the message that people who bike represent precious lives. Also, we will be making a stop at South Park to honor the lives of those we lost in our bike messenger community, along with others. We will listen to some reflections from family members and friends of those we lost at some of the stops.
This year, San Francisco City Hall will be illuminated bright white to honor those who were killed while biking in San Francisco and the Ride of Silence. This is the fifth year that the City and County of San Francisco has recognized this.
Route: There will be five stops. Please stay tuned for details.
Our theme: "Remembering Those We've Lost". We are all deeply affected when we lose someone in our community, and together, we will ride, remember, reflect, and heal.
You are also welcome to participate, so please feel free to bring flowers of remembrance to place at any of the designated stops.
The meet-up will be at Gashaw Clark's Ghost Bike at 3rd Street & Mission Bay Blvd.
