Ron Schwartz meets with bikers in May 2013 for the Ride of Silence off of Summit Avenue in St. Paul.

Marathon cyclist Larry Schwartz biked an average of 20,000 miles a year for his own enjoyment, retiring at 38 to fully delve into the sport. He became a nationally known rider.

One month before he was to be married, Schwartz, 42, was killed in a hit-and-run accident in Dallas, where he lived, when he was clipped by the mirror of a passing school bus while riding his bike.

His family and friends -- stunned that one tragic accident killed an expert bicyclist -- decided to use his memory to help motorists and bicyclists safely co-exist.

On Wednesday, the Ride of Silence will take place in St. Paul, part of what is now a worldwide bicycling event to underscore the number of cyclists injured or killed by motor vehicles.

Started in 2003 by one of Larry Schwartz's friends, Chris Phelan, the ride aims to honor and remember cyclist injured or killed on public roadways and to raise awareness about traffic laws for motor vehicles and bicycles.

Cyclists are asked to ride -- safely, with helmets on, and in silence.

Organized locally by Schwartz's brother, Ron Schwartz of St. Paul, the ride will span roughly eight miles roundtrip along Summit Avenue in St. Paul.

Ron Paul Vs Police State USA

Ron Paul Vs Police State USA - Video

Rand Paul is doing everything he can to marshal the support of a diverse range of political factions ahead of a potential presidential run, from courting Republican National Committee members to meeting with traditionally Democratic African-American pastors and Berkeley college kids.

But at least one segment of the GOP still harbors deep reservations about the libertarian-leaning Kentucky senator a group that includes prominent donors with plenty of critical cash.

The foreign policy hawks within the establishment GOP among them pro-Israel donors, national security types and neoconservatives are impressed by Pauls attempts to broaden the Republican base and find him willing to listen to their concerns. But ultimately, according to people plugged into the Republican donor class, they worry that a President Paul would dangerously scale back Americas activities abroad a deepening concern in some corners as his star has risen within the broader party.

Members of the establishment wing think hes a good leader, an attractive candidate and they agree with a lot of what he has to say on economic policy, said Charlie Black, a veteran Republican strategist. But they dont agree with him on America withdrawing to its own shores.

Pauls father, Ron Paul, is a famously isolationist libertarian icon; the younger Paul, however, sharply rejects that label. Still, he appears to be betting that if he can build a sufficiently broad coalition capturing grassroots enthusiasm; appealing to Democratic-leaning constituencies; keeping his libertarian base happy; and making himself palatable to the bulk of the GOP establishment it will be less crucial to get all of the foreign policy hawks on board at a time when public opinion is shifting away from pro-interventionist sentiment.

The problem with that approach could surface most clearly when it comes to luring big-time cash, said one GOP donor, a former adviser to 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

For a lot of the establishment people that care about foreign policy, he has considerable concerns among that crowd, the source said. The interesting question is, how much does that crowd matter anymore? You still have establishment people, a handful of people, who do care, whether its Israel, Middle East policy, policy regarding China. But at the end of the day, if you look at primary voters, its pretty low on their totem poll. However, for some bundlers, its a big deal. It really hits him, probably, on New York or D.C. bundlers.

Paul has come a long way from when he first entered the Senate on a tea party wave in 2010. The views of his father, a longtime House member and erstwhile presidential candidate, initially colored perceptions about the senator, but he has distanced himself from his dad, saying he is a realist not a neoconservative, nor an isolationist.
