Ride for Your Life

10/10/2026

It’s a sad chart: U.S. roadway deaths compared to four other industrialized countries: Italy, Germany, Canada and France. While they all have drastically reduced the carnage, U.S. progress has actually reversed since 2010. Our rate is now more than four times Germany’s.

But we know the solutions, and Ride For Your Life has worked with our partners to pair the ride with specific policy solutions that will save lives. We will push to ensure that the U.S. Congress continues to fund bicycle infrastructure despite threats, and have specific city- and state-level asks that WILL save lives.

Please join us on Oct 25 at Boston Common to fill the streets and show the strength of our movement.

Join us for World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims in Boston on Oct 25 or DC on Nov 15. More than a ride and walk, RFYL pushes for specific changes to honor those lost to traffic violence. It’s amazing how people with power react to hundreds of us on the road, armed with the truth and steeled by the fires of our love.

Just what IS Ride For Your Life? It's more than you think. Read!

Ride for Your Life is so much more than a bike ride. It’s a ride for change and a rally to make roads safer for bicyclists, pedestrians, and drivers.

Sasha Rosen was 17 — goofy, music-loving, a kid who argued politics and beat his friends at video games — when a speeding driver killed him as he crossed the street on his way to school.

That's not an accident. That's a policy failure, and it demands answers. On October 4, we're filling the streets of Madison to get them.

Join us — alongside fellow advocates and elected officials — to ride, walk, and rally for safer roads and a more livable Wisconsin. We're pushing to pass Sasha's Bill (AB 655 / SB 659 in the Wisconsin legislature), which would let judges require GPS-enabled intelligent speed devices in the cars of drivers convicted of reckless driving or repeated/extreme speeding.

And we won't stop there.

NOTE! We're looking for volunteers for a range of roles – before, during and after the ride. Together, we’ll make Wisconsin both safer and more livable.

Help us fill the streets in 2026 for Ride for Your Life–a ride, walk, and rally to remember victims of traffic crashes and work to make our city and state safer and more livable for all road users. Join us in:

Madison- 10/4/26

RYFL is so much more than a bike ride. Our presence on the streets will demonstrate the size of our constituency. Our rally will bring together legislators, civic leaders, victim families and business to send a clear message. Our action cards will set you up for the advocacy we will continue after the ride to protect biking and walking infrastructure and address the policy failures that have led to 40,000 deaths each year on American roads.

Join us. Registration is free! > rideforyourlife.org

Because our streets exist for everyone.

While every year’s Ride for Your Life is important, this year’s event comes at a particularly urgent moment, when the Trump Administration has unleashed an unprecedented attack on bike infrastructure in America.
This year, join us to send a clear message: Bike lanes and other safe infrastructure projects should be seen for what they are: investments in a better future, solutions for dangerous and congested roads.
At Ride for Your Life, we gather not only to mark World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. We gather for change.
Register now at rideforyourlife.org!
