2019 Chicago Ride of Silence remembers...

5/13/2019

 
Since the 2018 Ride of Silence, there have been 5 known fatalities on the City of Chicago's streets. 

This year’s 2019 Chicago Ride of Silence will follow a route centralized around the city center, to both further emphasize the efforts of the Vision Zero Downtown campaign and to highlight the cycling and pedestrian fatalities from the past year in this area.

This year we especially remember ...
