**THIS EVENT IS FREE. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED**Maui will once again be hosting a Memorial Ride as part of the global Ride of Silence movement, which takes place in hundreds of locations every year to honor cyclists who have been hit or killed while riding on public roadways. We’ll be riding in silence along the bike path beginning in Kihei for a total of 13.2 miles.
Following the ride, we’ll gather for refreshments and advocacy. Refreshments will be compliments of Robin Hagen, Karl Hagen’s wife, in commemoration of Karl and all riders who have lost their lives nationwide and on Maui.

Ride of Silence history:
In 2003, Chris Phelan organized the first Ride of Silence in Dallas after endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz was hit by the mirror of a passing bus and was killed. We began organizing a ride of silence on Maui after 61-year old Karl Hagen was hit and killed by a pick-up truck on the Piʻilani Highway in 2014. In 2022 there were increases in fatalities across nearly all categories — with 49 involving motor vehicle occupants, 33 involving motorcyclists and moped riders, 28 involving pedestrians and seven involving bicyclists.
