Ride of Silence - North Austin

When: Wednesday, May 19, 2021 at 6:45; Ride starts at 7:00 PM

Where:  On all 7 continents, but locally, we will start from the parking lot south of St. David’s North Austin Medical Center at 2511 Park Bend Drive, Austin 78758 (go to the parking lot on the south side of Park Bend Drive next to the Walnut Creek trail).

What: Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways.

Why: Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves. 

Who: You.  Join us for a slow placed family friendly 8-mile ride. 

Free and open to anyone.  No registration.  Lights required.

This ride is on North Austin, not downtown. This is our fifth year to hold this ride in North Austin, but we have a new route this time. We will start from the parking lot south of St. David’s North Austin Medical Center at 2511 Park Bend Drive, Austin 78758 (go to the parking lot on the south side of Park Bend Drive next to the Walnut Creek trail). This is a family friendly ride. We will be on Walnut Creek trail, quiet neighborhoods, and a couple of roads with painted bike lanes. Make sure you have lights!
