Club wants to make motorists aware of cyclists

The Huntsville Cycling Club (Texas) supports the Ride of Silence as reported in the Huntsville Item:

Robert Logston slid a list across his desk, filled with names of people that had recently been killed in “bicycle/motorist accidents.�

The list was eight pages long, and 24 of the cyclists listed were Texas residents.

“That’s just a fraction of them,� the ride captain for the Huntsville Cycling Club said. “These are just the ones that were brought to our attention.�

On Wednesday, in memorial of those lost due to that type of accident, the HCC took part in an international event known as the “Ride of Silence.�
