背景:
在03年美國有一位單車使用人士,因在交通意外中喪生,當地人自發了一場社會運動。現時每年在世界各地不同的城市中的單車人士,每年都會在5月18日的晚上集合起來,為紀念當地在交通意外中死亡或受傷的單車使用人士,在區內以市區慢遊的方式舉行「沉默的騎行」,以提醒公眾及所有道路人士尊重對道路的使用,及交通安全。
The 'Ride of Silence' began in 2003 as one ride for one killed cyclist, in the United States. Now, every year on the third Wednesday in May, thousands of people join hundreds of rides all over the world, and here in Hong Kong we have ridden together each year since 2006 to remember cyclists killed and injured and to raise awareness that this toll can and must be reduced.
