Ride of Silence is a civic and social initiative that coordinates a global, silent bicycle ride to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured on public roadways. Local volunteers organize distinct Ride of Silence experiences, engaging tens of thousands of participants across 203 locations in 38 states, 11 countries, and five continents. The 2026 edition is scheduled for May 20 at 7:00 PM Local Cycling Time, continuing the annual worldwide procession. The organization is based in Dallas, Texas, and operates with a small staff, relying on volunteers to run the events. It traces its origins to a 2003 ride at White Rock Lake in Dallas, initiated by Chris Phelan, which spurred the expansion into a global network of similar events.
