by: Zachary Bordner | www.yourbasin.com
MIDLAND COUNTY, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- All who legally share the road are invited to the 17th Annual Permian Basin “Ride of Silence,” with bicyclists being the main focus, to raise awareness of cyclists on the road and mourn the cyclists that have been killed by motorists.
The ride will consist of 12 miles, going no faster than 12 miles per hours, and stopping at Ghost Bikes to pay respects.
On the third Wednesday of May, at 7 PM around the world, cyclists will take to the roads in a silent protest of the carnage taking place on the streets.

‘Excitement On a Well Beaten Path’ Southern Tier East to West

Burton TX – La Grange TX
Wednesday May 10, 2023 Another doozy of a rainstorm last night, fortunately very little wind. That would have been unpleasant for me!
Id hung the hammock under a 10×12 pavilion, which only keep out the rain that falls straight down.
Rain didn’t stop until about 10 before I finally scurried out and started packing. There was a 1/2 inch of water in my space so I moved all my bags into the next spot that had a table high and dry.
Got on the road out of the park at 11, navigated the hissing deer (doesn’t that mean they may attack?), the herd of squealing feral hogs, and hit the road.
Join us for Bike to Work Day: Friday, May 19
Ciyt of Houston Planning Department
Bike to Work Day is a national event that occurs every May during National Bike Month . The City of Houston is hosting the Bike to Work Day, our annual downtown ride and celebration will be held on Friday, May 19. We are challenging Houstonians to rethink how we commute to the places we live, work, and play during the month of May.
We are excited to continue the tradition and continue to motivate the community to increase active transportation. Studies have shown that cycling is good exercise, increases endorphins, and causes the brain to function better.
Riders will meet at 7:15 a.m. at the EaDo Bike Company, at 912 Saint Charles Street
The ride will begin at 7:30 a.m.
Participants will ride to to City Hall (approximately 3.7 miles).
At approximately 8 a.m., Planning Department and Mayor Sylvester Turner (or his designee) will address the riders to emphasize the importance of multimodal transportation, and the strides we have made in the City to make cycling safer.
If you can’t join us, we challenge you to ride your bicycle to work or any destination of your choice on May 19 or another day during bike month. If you do, take a picture and tag the Houston Bikeways social media with the hashtag #BTWD2023. Join in the Bike Month and #BTWD2023 conversation at:
