How We Ride in Pittsburgh
Double file, side by side, keeping to a single lane, and to the right of the yellow line where it exists. Stop and wait at all red lights – we’re a big group and will undoubtedly be breaking up and regrouping as we go along. If there is slower traffic in the lane, we’ll just wait for it. Please bring bikes in good repair, as there will be no official mechanical support or transportation. Children aged 12 and under must have helmets on.
This ride takes place on city streets, with potholes, surface hazards, motor vehicles and other cyclists riding in close proximity. Participants must use their own judgment and be responsible for their own safety. If at any time, you feel that you can no longer participate safely, please pull off the route and wait until the rest of the ride has passed.
History and Expectations
• On the third Wednesday of May around the world, bicyclists will take to the roads in a silent protest of the carnage taking place on the streets
• Chris Phelan organized the first Ride Of Silence in Dallas in 2003 after endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz was killed by a passing bus mirror on an empty road
• The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its riders to ride at a slow pace and remain silent during the ride
• The ride hopes to raise bicycling awareness during bike month to motorists, police, traffic engineers, insurance companies, and city officials. The ride is also a chance to honor and mourn, in funeral procession style, those who have already been killed and injured
• The ride requests black arm bands be worn, red only if you have had a bike/motor vehicle crash. Helmets required; lights are mandatory for the ride home. There are no fees charged anyone to participate.

DIRECTIONS: Take Route 50 (from points East) through Cecil. Just past the second entrance to Cecil Park, the maintenance building is on the left at Glass Hill Road.
RIDE INFO: The weather forecast for today is "iffy" at best with rain predicted, but I'll schedule a ride and we'll see if the prognosticators are right or (hopefully) wrong. So far, the route is yet to be determined, and may not be until ride time (or even during). As always, we'll be on as many low-traffic, good country roads as possible. We'll have one convenience store rest stop somewhere. No go in case of rain (or if it's highly probable by noon) or very wet roads; call if questionable or check this site (use the "Raw" Calendar only!) for cancellation notice. (Please consult the online weather websites for the hour-by-hour forecast and also the radar maps in the AM to see what's up for today.) More details
