The Conejo Valley Cyclists and the City of Thousand Oaks invite all concerned cyclists to join us May 18, 2014 for our third annual Ride of Silence. The Ride of Silence is a solemn observance of the death or injury of all our brothers and sisters due to accidents between their bicycles and motor vehicles on the road. Join us as we ride a short 10 miles at a slow 12-mph pace to honor the memory of the 600-plus cyclists who die each year on our roads.
