Ride of Silence Calls Attention to Cycling Safety And Awareness
Philadelphia bicycle accident lawyers at Reiff and Bily want to remind all of our clients and readers that the Central Bucks Bicycle Club invites them to participate in the Ride of Silence Bike Rally starting at 6:30 p.m. on May 20, 2009 at Central Bucks West High School, 375 West Court Street, Doylestown, PA. This is a worldwide event determined to not only raise awareness of bicycle safety but also to demonstrate a public display of mourning in funeral procession style for the cyclists who have been killed in collisions with motor vehicles. Last year, The Ride of Silence events were held in more than 300 locations throughout the United States and 18 countries.
Bicycle ridership is on the upswing in the United States and particularly in Philadelphia and so are the serious injuries and fatalities. Each year fatalities result from bike rides due to the fact that many motorists are simply not paying attention and more importantly, many motorists do not possess adequate insurance to protect the rider in the event of a catastrophic injury. Most bike accidents are severe if not fatal.
The experienced bicycle accident law firm of Reiff and Bily has had extensive experience working with bicycle accident cases and assist injured bikers in assessing and protecting their legal rights. We strongly urge all of our bicyclists, readers and clients to participate in this no fee event on May 20, 2009 which will be a silent slow pace 6 mile ride through the Borough of Doylestown escorted by the Doylestown Police Department.
For more information on this event, please contact the Central Bucks County Bicycle Club or the experienced Philadelphia bicycle accident law firm of Reiff and Bily at 1-800-421-9595 or online at www.reiffandbily.com.
