In memory of cyclists killed in road accidents, Doylestown Borough and the Central Bucks Bicycle Club will sponsor the seventh annual Ride of Silence Wednesday evening.
Police officers, emergency responders from the Central Bucks Ambulance and Rescue and fire vehicles will lead the riders on a flat, 6-mile course through the region with police directing traffic to allow the cyclists to pass through busy intersections.
Registration begins at 6 p.m. at Central Bucks West High School in the student parking lot at School Lane and Lafayette Street. The ride will begin at 7 p.m. All riders must wear helmets, use hand signals and keep talking to a minimum during the event.
The annual ride — “in memory of fallen riders” — began in New Zealand and now is held on every continent. Last year, 12,434 cyclists participated in 372 locations.
“Our ride continues to be one of the top-attended rides with more than 100 riders each year,” event organizer and Doylestown Borough Councilman Don Berk said in a statement on the borough’s website.
