Bicyclists ride in remembrance of those killed

Cyclists in Laguna Beach and hundreds of cities nationwide pedaled during the annual Ride of Silence on Wednesday in remembrance of those injured or killed on the roads.

Cyclists in Laguna began at Heisler Park and traveled 5.3 miles along Glenneyre and Catalina streets and Monterey Drive.

Thirteen cyclists have died in Orange County since the 2014 Ride of Silence, including 55-year-old Laguna Beach resident John Colvin last June.

Chris Phelan organized the first Ride of Silence in Dallas in 2003 after endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz was hit by the mirror of a passing bus and killed, according to the Ride of Silence website.
