: The 17th Annual Greater Lansing Ride of Silence will be a solemn bicycling procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. It is one of over 300 world-wide similar rides occurring simultaneously as the Global Ride of Silence.

The bicycling procession will begin at MSU and end at the Capitol. Bicyclists of all ages and riding skill levels are invited to participate.

Registration will take place on Wednesday May 15 between 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. at the plaza east of Wells Hall on the Michigan State University campus. The memorial ride will start promptly at 6:30 p.m. from the plaza. It will be conducted in solemn and reflective silence, with a police escort provided, culminating in a short memorial ceremony on the Capitol steps. We will ride in the rain, but not lightning or other severe weather; the thunderstorm date is the following Saturday, May 18, at noon (registration11:15). Helmets are required. Lights and bright clothing are highly recommended for the ride home.

There is no charge for this event. There will be an optional after-ride celebration at Ozone’s Brewhouse.
