Ride of Silence

The 2010 Ride of Silence was held around the world on Wednesday, May 19th.  This is a group ride to commemorate those cyclists who have been killed or injured while riding their bikes legally on the streets and highways.  It is a visible reminder to motorists that we are also sharing the roadways.

In Ames, we met behind Skunk River Cycles and pedaled from downtown to Duff Avenue, then to 24th Street to Stange Rd onto Pammel/6th St and back downtown.  Cyclists travel no faster than 10 mph with lights on.  There is no talking.  Ames police provided front and rear protection.
