Ride of Silence

Where I live in Union County, on the south side of Charlotte, there have been two bicyclists killed in the last year. I have read that, on average, 2-3 bicyclists are killed every day in the United States. A grassroots movement began in Dallas in 2003 to honor a fallen cyclist there and has since spread around the globe. On May 21 there will be a "Ride of Silence" in locations all around the world to honor cyclists killed on public roadways. The ride in Charlotte will be at 7:00 p.m. following the well-known "Booty Loop" in Myers Park.
