Comments: So... this was my first time participating in the Ride of Silence and I'm not sure I get it. Oh, I get the purpose but not the implementation. It's supposed to raise awareness for cyclists hurt or killed by automobiles but in my humble opinion it just pisses off all the motorists.

You are supposed to ride silently (literally) around the city. So imagine this group of about 80 riders moving along at 10 mph. Now imagine that no one can say anything to the cars that get stuck behind it. and that there is no signage or police escort. Oh yes, they loved us.

It was so slow (our cyclometer said 8 mph AVERAGE SPEED) and it got cold enough that Shelley and I just turned around at the half way point. We were both shivering to death.
Equipment: commute - Raleigh town bike, 38x16
ride - Co-Motion Robusta

Here are some pictures of the ride.
