Walk+Roll Cleveland Ride of Silence


Join cyclists worldwide in a silent slow-paced ride in honor of those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways. The purpose of the ride is: 
    1. To HONOR those who have been injured or killed 
    2. To RAISE AWARENESS that we are here 
    3. To ask that we all SHARE THE ROAD 

The Cleveland Ride of Silence will have two starting points which will come together at a central meeting place for a brief ceremony. Riders will assemble at 5:45pm in two locations: downtown (near Cleveland City Hall) and the Heights neighborhoods (at Whole Foods Market). Both groups will depart at 6:10pm and ride to University Circle. Along the way, we will pick up additional riders at various locations.
