In New York City, every time a cyclist is killed, a bicycle painted white is locked to a street sign by advocacy group Time's Up!, as a visual reminder of the tragedy that took place there.

I enjoyed this pod very much. It''s an important issue that people need to know about. Bikes are traffic too.
Bikes are fun! -
people driving cars should be conscious of the people and things arownd them, and to be aware that they are sharring the roads.

Bikes have rights!
Fight for yours!
It's time to take back the roads!
2 wheels are Freedom!
Do your part, in your own way.
Make the difference! -
what a terrible story, given that the lane had such wideness and placement and yet nowhere to go. bad infrasructure ending in a fatality :(
Ghost bikes are very symbolic and representative of fatalities of the bike community

my respects.
I ride near this one often (Emeryville, CA), it is indeed impacting to feel their presence and their spirit around the white aura of the bike :( -
Eerie stories, I've seen one before. I just wish more people understood what they meant.

This guy should be prosecuted for hitting this child this is rediculous.

A few years back a boy on a bike was hit and killed by an SUV just a couple of blocks from my house in San Jose, CA. We were outraged - the SUV didn't even slow down. It was also upsetting there didn't seem like there was any press about it at all, and I never was able to find out if they found the person who did it. It felt like society said, "Oh well, that's a shame. What's for breakfast?"
I'm glad to see people speaking up about this in a peaceful, socially respectful way.-
