Ride of Silence rolls at five locations in Missouri May 17th, 2006

Missouri Bicyclists,

Ride of Silence

Just a reminder that the Ride of Silence is 7:00PM May 17th, 2006, at five Missouri locations: Farmington, Kansas City, St. Joseph, Springfield, and St. Louis.

Details, starting points, and contact information are on the Ride of Silence web site.

The Ride of Silence is a powerful and respectful way for us to speak up for bicyclists rights and safer accommodations for bicyclists and pedestrians on Missouri's roads.

We know that Missourians bicycle and walk at about half the national average.

It doesn't take a genius to see why--the conditions of our transportation system and the attitudes of our citizens and public officials and that much more unfriendly to bicycling and walking.

Things are now changing for the better in Missouri in many ways, great and small. Participating in the Ride of Silence is one good way to speak up, let your voice be heard, and make certain that things keep moving in the right direction in Missouri.
