The Ride of Silence, held on the third Wednesday in May, is an annual international bicycle ride to commemorate cyclists killed or injured while riding on public roads. Participants are encouraged to visit a ghost bike in their area and take their photo with it as a gesture of honoring the deceased person. In past years in Munich hundreds of cyclists took part, a moving experience. This year Janos and I rode alone.
The rules are simple: 1. Ride in silence 2. Remember and honor those who've been hit & killed while riding or seriously injured 3. Ride slowly and a relatively short distance - this is not a race 4. Wear a helmet & obey road laws for bicyclists We cycled to a ghost bike in Munich to pay our tributes.
