The 2009 Ride of Silence is happening at four locations in Missouri at 7PM on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009:
* Kansas City * St. Louis * Sedalia * Springfield Details about the locations, routes, and starting points here. Contrary to what many people believe, bicycling is not a tremendously dangerous activity--it's certainly not much, if any, more dangerous than driving an automobile. However, each year over 40,000 Americans are killed and about 2.9 million injured when driving in or struck an an automobiles. The fatalities for 2007 (the most recent statistics available) include: 35,555 motor vehicle drivers or occupantsSo it is appropriate at least once a year to have an event that commemorates those who have been injured or killed on our nation's roads and helps galvanize support to change this situation--and that event is the Ride of Silence.
