Contact the Brisbane Ride of Silence organisers via the online contact form on the Ride of Silence website.

Rules: Ride in formation (2 abreast). To obey all road rules. Ride as quietly as possible. A time to reflect on all our cycling buddies who have been killed or seriously injured whilst riding their bicycle. lease follow all road rules, no blocking of traffic or pedestrians. Be polite and respectful of other road users. Remain neutral if the ride encounters any aggressive motorists.

Those who have been injured in a ride due to an altercation with motorists or due to inadequate cycling facilities (eg. poor road surfaces or poorly designed infrastructure etc) should wear a red arm band on the right arm (electrical tape will suffice) & those who have lost a cycling buddy in a serious road accident should wear a black arm band. This is purely symbolic & will raise awareness by all those people we pass as we ride.
