About us
Our Story
At Ride For Your Life, we are passionate about making biking, walking, and all forms of transportation safe for everyone. Born from the tragedy that killed Sarah Debbink Langenkamp, a mother and U.S. diplomat, the Ride for Your Life demands more from our leaders--and from ourselves.
We hold slow bike rides that memorialize those lost in traffic crashes, ending with rallies at iconic locations with like-minded civil society and elected leaders seeking legislative or regulatory changes. Post Rides have attracted thousands or riders in Washington, D.C.; Boulder Colorado; Madison, WI; Boston, MA; and Sasketoon, Canada.
With local, state and national elected officials and civic leaders attending, Rides have resulted in a new law in Maryland that better protects cyclists in bike lanes, two bills in the U.S. Congress, and national media attention, generating urgently needed focus upon the crisis on our roadways.
