Ride of Silence

The Ride of Silence is a yearly international bicycle ride to commemorate cyclists killed or injured while riding on public roads. It helps to raise awareness among motorists of the dangers they pose to cyclists. This year's Ride of Silence "just happened" to fall on the eve of my cross-country trip. So earlier today I rode in silence in honor of my brother. I could not have thought up a better last ride in Columbia before I head to Charleston tomorrow morning. I am thankful for the opportunity to represent him in the Ride of Silence and this summer through Bike & Build.
