In memoriam of cyclists killed or injured on public roads, The Vancouver Bicycle Club will be joining the worldwide Ride of Silence Wednesday evening. This slow-paced, silent ride was first organized by Chris Phelan in Texas of 2003 and has been held every year since, gaining 400 national and international participants. Along this year’s route, riders will pass by the locations where local riders Benjamin Fulwiler and Gordon Patterson were killed.
