The 10-mile ride was to remember cyclists who have died or been injured on public roadways<\/p>\n

SAN ANTONIO \u2013 Cyclists rode through downtown Wednesday night without saying a word. <\/p>\n

This is called the Ride of Silence<\/a>. It\u2019s an annual event<\/a> that happens internationally to remember cyclists who have died or been injured on public roadways. <\/p>\n

In San Antonio, SATX Social Ride and ActivateSA put on the ride. Joey Pawlik, the executive director of ActivateSA, said this is an opportunity to push for public safety. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important here locally that we address the safety concerns we have, and the fatalities and serious injuries that have happened on our roadways to cyclists,\u201d Pawlik said. <\/p>\n

This year, cyclists rode 10 miles. <\/p>\n

Between 2021 and 2025, ActivateSA<\/a> said 35 cyclists were killed in the city, and 117 others were seriously injured. So far in 2026, ActivateSA said one cyclist has died. <\/p>\n
