Ride of Silence May 19

Kyle Nylander, an experienced group ride leader with the a local bicycle club, will lead a Ride of Silence on Wednesday May 19 at 7 pm from Mercer County Park marina.

At the same time, Heather Haggan will be offering a Ride of Silence from Van Horne Park behind Princeton Fitness, Skillman/Montgomery.

Join cyclists worldwide in a silent slow-paced ride (max. 12 mph/20 kph) in honor of those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways.

Why Does Ride of Silence Exist?

To HONOR those who have been injured or killed
To RAISE AWARENESS that we are here
To ask that we all SHARE THE ROAD
