About 1000 riders showed up in Dallas at White Rock for the ROS - a police car led the procession and cleared the road for us.

It was an especially sobering ride because Dallas has lost so many riders in the area in the past few years. Some of their families came to observe the ride, even though they didn't ride along.

One particular member of the cycling community - and the owner of an LBS was very critically injured last fall in a car/bike accident - was one of the ride leaders.

The fellow who started ROS - Chris Phelan - read a speech given by one of the Kennedys about how one man can make a difference.

There were two other ROS events in the DFW area too, I don't know how many were at those.

It was an awe inspiring event - I would recommend this to EVERYONE! It has inspired me to move forward with being much more involved in making our streets safer for cyclists!
