oh my... so tragically sad. 17 is far too young...
Sometimes not knowing feels better. Poor young man.

So sad... too bad that road doesn't have a bike lane or shoulder. It looks like a road where drivers would drive too fast. Sigh...

In Portland, OR we have those white "ghost bikes" similar to what you have shown. Yes, very sobering.
Thank you for taking the time to look and share.

Tucson also has a sobering number of ghost bike memorials.
The annual Ride of Silence is coming up soon.... in honor of all of those injured or killed by cars while riding. A sad and moving experience, but good to raise awareness.2016 Specialized Ruby Comp disc - Ruby Expert ti 155

That is very sad. We too have 'ghost bikes' in London. Too many.
Very poignant photo.
