2006 Ride of Silence
On May 17th, 2006 the Frederick Pedalers sponsored a Ride of Silence in Frederick, Maryland to join cyclists in over 200 cities around the country in honoring those who have been killed or injured while riding and to raise awareness by showing that cyclists can safely share the road with other vehicles.

The group waits to turn left at a traffic light on East Street
OK, so not everyone made it through all the traffic lights in one cycle...
