Ghost bikes

This article was in the Post yesterday and linked from WashCycle today ( for the three or four forum members that don’t read WashCycle ). Always a bit chilling to see one but a good read. I’ve long been interested in the contrast between ghost bikes and the road side memorials one often sees with crosses, flowers, teddy bears and such. Ghost bikes strike me as far more telling and evocative – a moment seemingly frozen.
