Seattle Ride of Silence

[Jo-n-NY]

I wish we had one in Kelowna. How does one organize such an event?

Go to the ROS site and they tell you how to organized a ride. All you need is a small group of riders and that will be the beginning of something that can become larger every year.

yes, you don't need 100 riders, just a few!

This was our 3rd one in Pendleton. We only had about 10 of us, as the wind was howling and rain threatened. We ended up by cutting our route shorter than planned when said rain started pelting us. We always wear buttons featuring a woman who was killed in August of 2005. This is so very meaningful to her widower. He was actively involved in getting legislation in OR which stiffens punishment for injuries to non-motorized users of OR roadways and the 3-foot law.

that's neat. they just struck down that legislation here in washington because it's too ambiguous (3 foot rule)
