Ride of Silence
May 15, 2024 @ 5:30PM — 8:00PM Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Holy City Brewing: 1021 Aragon Ave North Charleston, SC 29405 Get Directions
In honor of International Ride of Silence, in support of a Better North Bridge
Critical mass memorial bike ride across the North Bridge with a police escort to champion this priority project, with a post-ride gathering at Holy City Brewing from 7-8 pm. This is a Charleston Moves signature event that embodies the critical, urgent nature of our advocacy, and we sincerely hope you will join us.
Following the ride, we'll convene at the brewery's marsh side patio for food, drinks and community. $1 from every Overly Friendly IPA sold will be donated to Charleston Moves, so please stick around to enjoy sips and bites with us!
Thank you to Bike Law for sponsoring this year's Mobility Month program, and to Michael Bannister D.D.S. and She Tris Sprint Triathlon for sponsoring this event!
IMPORTANT DETAILS:
- Completing our waiver is a requirement to participate in the ride. If you haven't already, please fill it out ASAP HERE.
- The ride will begin and end at Holy City Brewing (1021 Aragon Avenue, North Charleston). The route is ~7 miles in total, and should take ~45 minutes to complete. Before committing to the ride, be aware of this distance and that the bridge has an incline. We will have a police escort. This ride will be casually-paced but we must stay together for the escort to be effective.
- We will start promptly at 6 pm; you must arrive no later than 5:50 pm to check in. Please report to our table, which will be set up on the patio stage located on the marsh side of the brewery; we will have a greeter direct you upon arrival. Bike parking will be adjacent to the check in table.
- For the safety of all, children under 12 must ride attached to a guardian, not on their own bike — consider a trailer or tandem bicycle. Also, pets cannot be on the ride. We'd love you to join us after the ride; we should be back to Holy City Brewing around 7 pm.
- We strongly encourage you to ride your bike to the event. We have organized casual rides to Holy City Brewing from downtown AND Park Circle. Please be aware these rides will not have a police escort.
- The downtown ride will depart promptly at 5 pm from McMahon Playground (55 Cleveland Street, Charleston). Look for Marty, our ride leader.
- The Park Circle ride will depart promptly at 5:25 pm from the Garco Mill parking lot (4900 O'Hear Avenue, North Charleston). Look for Julia, our ride leader.
- If you cannot bike, walk or bus to the event, please carpool. Parking is extremely limited on site. Here are designated parking locations, including overflow spots, for the event:
- Along Aragon Avenue, including the spaces in front of Holy City Brewing and on Reece HVAC's property across the street.
