Tuesday morning 74-year old Beverly Duffield was struck by an SUV and killed as she rode her bike near Southwest Boulevard near Highway 75.
The driver fled the scene and was arrested hours later.
Wednesday evening, cyclists gathered for a ride in Duffield's memory.
Mile after mile, these cyclists remained silent, keeping their eyes on the road ahead.
But their hearts and minds are focused on their friend and fellow cyclist they lost on Tuesday, 74-year old Beverly Duffield.
The Silent Ride is the cycling community's way of memorializing her.
Cyclists Stephen Rubino says, "Just honor another rider who should not have died. It's tragic that Tulsa was just named as a bicycle-friendly city. And since then we've had three deaths. And it's just tragic. It should not happen that way."
"It's difficult. It's something we make a decision to do everyday. We either ride or we don't ride," says Jerry Hensley. He had been friends with Beverly Duffield for 15 years.
"She was very outgoing. Very fun loving. And always in a good mood kind of lady." Hensley says as he rode his bike on Wednesday, he reflected on his memories of her, and the years they spent training alongside each other for various races over the years.
Hensley says he and his fellow riders will always think of Beverly when they head out on the road to enjoy the sport she loved so much.
The driver who is believed to have killed Duffield remains in the Tulsa County Jail on reckless homicide charges.
