I would like to note that, in the video, a silent ride is held in memory of those cyclists who have been killed on the road. Disturbingly, one of the cyclists shown on this ride is shown not wearing a helmet. This is irritating, because, after all, the onus of keeping cyclists safe is on both the motorists and the cyclists. It seems that as citizens, we should advocate for more bike lanes; as drivers, we should be more courteous and cautious; and as cyclists, we should take more ownership of our own safety (e.g., riding single file, wearing helmets).

I was just telling Newt the other day that I would like to get involved with some volunteer or advocacy group to make it safer to ride one's bike and to encourage more folks to ride their bikes. Need to do some research.
