Bike Clark County’s 10th annual Ride of Silence on Wednesday honors cyclists who were killed while riding. The 4-mile route departs at 7 p.m. from the parking lot at East 15th and Main streets.
Typically, riders meet at Brickhouse, 109 W. 15th St., before and after the ride.
The bike education and advocacy group will lead riders past the Ghost Bike Memorial for Benjamin Fulwiler, who was killed at age 11 by a C-Tran bus May 2, 2012. Bicyclists can return to the parking lot or continue east up a hill on St. Johns Boulevard, past the memorial sign for Gordon Patterson, a math and design technology teacher at Hudson’s Bay High School. Patterson was killed on his bicycle Sept. 15, 2009, at age 50, after being struck by a car driven by Antonio Cellestine, who was texting while driving.
