The 6th Annual Ride of Silence is being held on Wednesday May 19th. Research Triangle Park’s ride will start promptly at 7:00 p.m. from the Triangle Life Sciences Building – 86 TW Alexander Drive, RTP (Corner of Alexander and Hwy. 54). This ride is in memory of fallen cyclists and to promote bicycle safety and motorist awareness. The Ride of Silence will be escorted by Durham Police Department Reserve Officers. It is a five mile ride in complete silence — using only hand signals. Helmets are required, lights suggested.
We’ve lost so many this year, please come honor their memory and show our solidarity to the community. Please arrive early enough to sign waivers and have your bike ready to roll out at 7:00. There will be a short reading of the Ride of Silence poem and a moment of silence before we roll out.
