The cyclist community is coming together to honor the fallen after a string of tragic deaths in Boston this year. Five bicyclists have died in motor vehicle collisions in the city since last September. Those gathering for the Ride of Silence are riding to encourage motorists to share the road and to honor fallen fellow cyclists. Here is a look back at those cyclists.
