What is the ROS? The Ride of Silence is a somber, slow & quiet ride to honor those who have been seriously hurt or killed in car/bike collisions while bicycling in Richmond.

Held during the week following Bike to Work Day during National Bike Month, the Ride of Silence aims to raise awareness in motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. 

Bicyclists are asked to travel no faster than 12 miles an hour, observe the rules of the road, and remain largely siient. Helmets are required. Uniformed bicycle officers from the Richmond Police Department generally escort the ride. (117 cities will participatein local rides worldwide.)
