  2. The 2003 Ride of Silence™in Dallas TX, the 1st ever, drew 1,000 cyclists through word of mouth and email communication over a period of only ten days. There was no registration, no fees, no t-shirt. Local media reported the ride to be incredibly moving as these cyclists rode in silence, occasionally wiping away a tear or patting a friend on the back.

  3. Larry Schwartz, a nationally ranked endurance cyclist was hit and killed by a passing bus 10 days prior to the Ride of Silence. Chris Phelan, a friend of Larry’s and the person responsible for starting this initiative, thought the Ride was a one-time event. However, as word got out, other cyclists began to contact Chris with a desire to do the same thing in their own communities……..

  4. In 2007, Ride of Silences were held in: 275+ locations worldwide In 21 Michigan Cities In all 50 States in the USA In 15 Countries On 6 Continents
