des moines ride of silence

the des moines ride was well-attended, estimates were over 100, i think. we were led by sergey motorny, who somehow survived what could have been fatal injuries nearly a year ago inflicted by a motorist who, to my knowledge, has thus far faced no legal consequences.
i had my little video camera with me and have posted on mytube five little pieces. if the shaky, hand-held results make you queasy, close your eyes and listen. some of the comments of other riders, and the silence, is pretty good.
