Ride of Silence

So, a ride of silence is a special bike ride where people ride their bikes in complete silence. The reason they ride in silence is to honor the memory of people who have died while biking on the road.

Imagine that you are riding your bike on the road and a car accidentally hits you. That would be very sad and your family and friends would miss you very much. The ride of silence is a way for people to remember those who have died while biking and to raise awareness about how important it is for cars and bikes to share the road safely.

During the ride, everyone rides slowly and silently, wearing a special armband to show that they are part of the group. They don't talk or make noise, but they do think about the people who have died and the message that they want to share. It's a way to show that biking is important and that everyone needs to be careful and respectful on the road.
