The Story Behind The Movement.
I didn’t choose this path, it chose me, the day I found myself on a road, surrounded by ambulances, policeman and a lifeless body, that body belonged to my dad.
That day, the 15th of October 2024, engraved in my mind for as long as I’ll live, was the day a 19 year old girl lost her father.
It’s a weird feeling, the moment your life changes forever. The brutalness of it all. The moment you realise your life can never go back to the way it was.
One cycling accident left him fighting for his life, and only 3 years later, another took him for good. Losing him broke something in me, it crushed a part of my soul I’m not sure will ever return but it also lit a fire I couldn’t quite put out.
So, I built silent spokes, because grief has a voice, and it deserves to be heard. This is not about polished campaigns or empty statistics. It’s about faces, families, and the silence that follows when someone’s life is cut short. My dad didn’t die, he was killed and that’s the difference.
My hope is that by sharing my story, and holding space for yours, we can turn pain into purpose and silence into change. If it were your dad, you’d build something too.
The Journey That Built Our Legacy.
Where We started
After tragedy struck, the realisation that there are voices that need to be heard and stories that need to be told, ignited a spark. The idea of having a community to end the silence became the mission!
Our current mission
Create awareness beyond just the cycling community. After starting social media accounts and getting the word out about Silent Spokes, we quickly realised that there are so many others who have experienced a similar path, and even more that are unaware/oblivious to it all
Our future goals
At Silent Spokes, we want to create a space where real people and their stories are truly seen and heard. Through films, rides, and collaborations, we hope to turn these stories into a force for connection, empathy, and change.
