Show unity with your friends & neighbors in Richmond by participating in an international and Richmond tradition: the Ride of Silence.
This event is part of the annual Ride of Silence that brings attention to cyclists injured or killed while riding on urban streets, but Rich City RIDES is remixing it to address the needs of our community. In the Rich our sisters and brothers are far too busy dodging beef and bullets to worry about car traffic and so for this the 5th Annual Richmond Ride of Silence we’re bringing the attention where it needs to be.
Join with your Richmond friends and neighbors at their annual Ride of Silence.
The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road and remain silent during the ride. There are no sponsors and no registration fees. The ride, which is held during National Bike Month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. This peaceful ride is also a chance to show respect for and honor the lives of those who have been killed or injured while cycling.Meet at Richmond City Hall at 5:00pm, sign waiver, receive armbands. Dedication and honor injured riders. Hear
ride instructions.
Depart at 5:30pm. Helmets are required

Join the City of Albany’s Department of Recreation and a bunch of your fellow Rollers as we explore Albany by bike on Spring, Summer and Autumn evenings. Each of the events will trace different routes that pass through parts of Albany you may not have biked before. All levels of cyclists are encouraged to join.
The ride begins at 6:30 at Bikes on Solano at Solano and Peralta in Albany.
We ALWAYS need Ride Guides to help guide folks around town from the front, middle and back so if you’re a confident rider please come 10 minutes early and help your neighbors out!
Come a few minutes early to pump up your tires. Ride maps are distributed, and we take off in a big group. There are experienced cyclists to lead and bring up the rear. After wheeling about for a half hour or forty-five minutes we return to Peralta Park, just across the street from our start, for light refreshments, a raffle, and general carousing.
Dates this year are Fridays May 20, June 17, July 15, August 19 and September 16th.
