A little off the mountain biking topic but an important event none the less. Ride of Silence is an event that takes place in cities around the world in remembrance of those killed in vehicle accidents while riding a bike. The purpose of the Ride of Silence is two fold.. 1 to remember those lives lost and 2 to make drivers aware that they have to share the road with cyclists.
