Orange County
To HONOR
those who have been injured or killed
To RAISE AWARENESS that we are here
To ask that we all SHARE THE ROAD
Date: Wednesday, May 13, 2020
Time: 6:30-8:30pm (Gather at 6 - Ride at 7 pm)
"Think Globally - Act Locally"
Confirmed for 2020:
Due to the PANDEMIC and GATHERING BEING PROHIBITED
There will be no ride this year, unless the CDC gives an "All Clear"
An Alternate is to share a moment of silence at 7pm and ride alone or with household members
With out the visibility of a group - be sure you are safe riding at dusk & dark
At 7 pm Local
Time we will join other communities across the planet in
having
a unique ride which will bring increased awareness to the streets
of our home towns -
focusing on the numbers of cyclists who are killed and injured
by motorists who do not safely share the road.
Riders will gather at 6 & assemble
about 6:30
then cue up for a 7 pm slow paced, single file, silent commemoration
to the riders who are no longer with us,
especially those who were disabled or killed in traffic.
A pack of single
file - silent riders - pacing out for 8 to 10 miles...
we will share this hour with each other, and know that
thousands across the planet will also have marked the
hour in their own time zone;
but also raise awareness among the many local motorists
who will be witnesses of our sombre parade.
It will be a dusk
ride, Sun set is at just before 8;
so wear your reflective & HiVis
day glow,
& have plenty of reflectors & lights...
LIGHTS AND REFLECTORS - CVC 21201(d)
In
case you don't know, California law requires bicycles to have lights
& reflectors after dusk - even on bike ways and sidewalks.
Many run extra lights for safety and
especially this night to draw even more attention to our rolling march...
HELMETS - CVC 21212
Helmets are required in California by all riders and passengers under 18.
Helmets are strongly recommended for all riders.
Some Rides of Silence locations do require helmets for ALL riders.
ARM BANDS
Optional tradition: Many wear an arm band; Black in solidarity -
or Red if you
have been injured in an incident with a motorist.
(Inexpensive head / wrist band sets or cut up tube socks work
well...)

"Victim Blaming" is a counterproductive
impulse, but there may be aspects we can pull from reports that give
clues a Savvy Cyclist can learn from to reducing risks in traffic.
1: Edge riding - shoulder riding- Bike Lane users; Rear ended
1a: Doored 1b: Hit parked car
2: Bikeway or side walk or Cross walk to Road conflicts
3: Failure to follow Rules of the Road / CVC / Control Device
: Missing legal lights & reflectors in dark
4: Solo crash in road - not traffic related
!: Drunk / Impaired Driver
!! Hit & Run motorist
5: Questionable road design hazards
If we have missed anyone,
please let us know of any other Riders killed in Orange County traffic
Many others have been injured or disabled by incidents in traffic...
|
Please let us know of any other Rides of Silence
in Orange County so we can add them here

Please bring friends & family out to participate
in these events for all of Orange County...
