We saw about SIX white ghost bikes garlanded with flowers, while walking around on various streets one day in Manhattan last year. Sad. NYC is particularly dangerous.

We put one up for a recumbent rider killed by a pickup. It was a good memorial, though it'd be even better if more of those driving by knew why it was there and were as affected by it as we were.
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
Wow. Those bike are in good shape! The ghost bikes that get put up around here tend to look like they may have been the one in the accident. Yours are a much more permanent looking memorial.

Terry and Amy were riding with a group called the Treadheads. One of the members of the group donated her bike. She doesn't ride it anymore.
The owner of the property donated the land for the permenant memorial. After a year the bikes will be given to another community in need of them.
Many people in the community donated time and their services to this memorial.
That is a very beautiful memorial. It was very kind of the land owner, I know alot of times that is big obstacle in placing ghost bikes.
