This Saturday May 19th at 9am, Adelaide has the opportunity to join the International Ride of Silence. In the first 5 months of 2007 there has been a significant increase in fatal accidents for cyclists and pedestrians – at least 5 cyclists so far!

Join us & help to raise awareness of the community’s ‘right to ride’ in safety on our roads! We will remember our fellow riders in silence while also enjoying the ride & celebrating all that is good about cycling.

• Where: Victoria Square, (immediately to the East of the tram terminus) to Glenelg.
• Distance: Approx. 12km.
• When: Adelaide’s ride will leave at 9.30am SHARP. All participants are asked to arrive by at least 9am to allow orderly assembly and departure.
• Support: The ride will be supported and led by SAPOL with a BISA `pick-up’ vehicle following at the rear.
  There will be several BISA Marshals at the assembly and arrival points and riding with the group.
• Route: Along King William St-South (in right-hand lane), turn right on to South Trc. (left lane), left onto Anzac Highway (left lane).
  At Glenelg we’ll turn right at the lights on Adelphi Trc, thence through the car park entrance on the left and straight onto the grassed area as directed by Marshals. We’ll have a short address to finalise the ride and then off for coffee or ice cream!
• Registration: No registration necessary! However it would be useful in managing nos. if you would let us know you are coming at chairbisa.asn.au. Participation is of course at your own risk!

Any queries? Contact Sam Powrie at chairbisa.asn.au or 0414 307 413
