We wish to highlight the lives of the cyclists who have lost their lives cycling in Chicago (either while riding in Chicago or who are from Chicago). Please contact us with your love one's info to be included in this online tribute or want information for placing a ghost bike. This is a work in progress.
For more information on past Chicago Ghost Bikes, please see http://ghostbikeschicago.org/

Our Fallen...
The Chicago Ride of Silence started in 2005, just two years after the initial Ride of Silence was hosted in Dallas, TX, in 2003. We wish to acknowledge and remember all the fallen we have honored over the years. Please let us know if we have missed anyone.
