Cleveland cyclists gathered last night for a Ride of Silence to remember those hurt and killed in crashes, advocate for change
Dozens of bicyclists gathered Wednesday night for’s annual Ride of Silence to honor people injured or killed while biking or walking on public streets. Although this was Cleveland’s 12th year doing a Ride of Silence, the movement has been around for more than two decades.
Last year, Ohio saw 1,149 crashes between bicycles and cars, according to the Ohio Department of Public Safety. In those crashes, 155 people were seriously injured and eight were killed. “They’re not just statistics, they’re real-live human beings,” said Patty Knilans, whose husband Randy Knilans was killed by a drunk and speeding driver while riding a bike in 2019. “They’re you, your neighbors, your friends, they’re people that committed themselves to their family, to their community.”
