11.12.07 MOVING MEMORIALS


Reading about different forms of street activism, especially by artists, I came across this incredible project. Old bikes painted white are locked to street posts near the location of accidents involving bicycles. According to the website ghostbike.org,

"A Ghostbike is a junker bike that has been painted stark white and afixed to the site where a cyclist has been hit or killed by a car driver. Ghostbikes are intended to be memorials for the fallen and reminders to everyone to SHARE THE ROAD with one another. Ride safe and give cyclists a break. Reckless riding and driving kills."

Thankyou to their site for the photo.
