Join cyclists worldwide in a silent, slow-paced ride in honor of those who have been hurt or killed while cycling on public roadways. The Radford Ride will have a police escort along the seven mile route and will ride at a slow pace. Though solemn, the group ride is enjoyable and inspirational to riders of all ages, experience and ability.

Note: Helmets are required.

If you cannot ride, we welcome your support for bike safety. Join us along the route on Main Street from Sal’s and El Charro to the Dedmon Center.

PRS Towing in Radford will be on hand to speak about the Slow Down, Move Over law. Each year about 200 roadside workers and first responders lose their life while tending to disabled vehicles.

Participants are invited to gather at Sal’s and El Charro following the ride to commemorate the 12th annual ride.

Co-sponsored by the New River Valley Bicycle Association and Pathways for Radford, the New River Valley ride was first organized in 2008 after the untimely death of Fess Green, local professor and veteran cyclist.

The Central Lumber parking lot is located at 709 West Main Street in Radford, VA.
