The Ride of Silence is usually a personal affair, I know of no groups who publicize it beyond their own groups. I think that advocates should wear helmets and lead by example, but not by preaching.
Are you talking about the
League of Michigan Bicyclists? What is the article?
Yes, the LMB-- but a post on Facebook, not an article on the website. I have noticed for some time that they put out a message that cycling is excessively dangerous as part of their advocacy. The last two or three times, I responded via Facebook. I know I have a tendency to harp on things, so I wanted to check it out with the smart people on LCF.
