Ride of Silence: 7pm tonight

We’ve just learned the Ride of Silence takes place at 7pm tonight, starting & ending at Gas Works Park in lower Wallingford.

The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph and remain silent during the ride. There are no sponsors and no registration fees. The ride, which is held during National Bike Month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for those who have been killed or injured.

Here’s what we know about tonight’s Seattle ride:
