Ride of Silence - North Austin

Ride of Silence - Takes place all around the world at 7pm on Wednesday 18th of May.  Join us in North Austin on a free family-friendly 8 mile ride to honor cyclists killed or injured on our roads.  Helmets and lights required. Leaving 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). Arrive by 6:45.

I changed the route a bit this year to make it easier to ride. The suburban wasteland is a very different place than the cool trendy areas in central Austin. We are going to stop at a few spots along the way to look at where cycling infrastructure could be improved and show why our needs in the hinterlands are different from the parts of town the city tends to focus on.
