The Ride of Silence is an annual international bicycle ride to commemorate cyclists killed and support those injured while riding on public roads. It helps to raise awareness among motorists, the public and decision makers of the dangers cyclists face on the roads, especially from other traffic.

After an introduction and a memorial for riders in Nevada from 2021, riders will take off from the plaza.

The approximately eight-mile route will be ridden at a leisurely pace (no faster than 12 mph). We ask that once the ride begins that no speaking occurs; please use customary hand signals for slowing, stopping, and turning. Riders will be accompanied by squad cars from the Carson City Sheriff's Department. The ride will be abbreviated to the west side only in windy conditions.
