Hi all,

- Homicide: An investigator’s insight, presented by
Team Homicide Cycling.


1. Gentle reminder, our May meeting is next tomorrow
evening, Tuesday 17th May,7.30pm at Suede Bar, 284
Smith Street, Collingwood. All welcome!


2. Join cyclists nationwide on Wed, May 18th in a
silent slow-paced ride (max. 15-20kph) in honor of
those who have been injured or killed while cycling on
public roadways.

Why does this ride exist?
To HONOR those who have been injured or killed
To RAISE AWARENESS that we are here
To ask that we all SHARE THE ROAD

THE RIDE OF SILENCE WILL NOT BE QUIET On May 18, the
Ride of Silence will roll across the country, starting
at 7:00 PM. In more than 50 cities in the U.S. ,
Canada, and Australia, 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.

This ride will take place from 7:00 pm - 7:45pm in
Melbourne.
