Westfield Ride of Silence 2026
Posted on Massachusetts Bike-Friendly Events Calendar by Jonathan McHatton · April 23, 2026 8:32 PM · 3 reactionsThe Ride of Silence will traverse and unite the globe as nothing before it. Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.
The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road and remain silent during the ride. The ride aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police, and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for and honor the lives of those who have been killed or injured.
The ride will begin at the Westfield Middle School and travel on West Silver St and Western Ave, turning around near Westfield State University.
In case of inclement weather, the ride will be held on Saturday, May 23rd at 10am.
