On this Wednesday 275 Rides of Silence will take place around the world. The Ride honors the memory of men, women and children killed while riding their bicycles and reminds communities that bicyclists have a right to ride in the street safely.
In the past year, five bicyclists died while riding their bicycles in the Delaware Valley. A brief pre-ride dedication ceremony will take place at 6:45 pm, and the ride will begin promptly at 7:00 pm.
Participants will ride in silence, at 12 miles per hour, with police escort.
