Gallery of NYC Ghost Bike Photos
The NYTimes has a photo gallery and some words on the ghost bikes Times Up! and Visual Resistance have installed in places bicyclists have been killed.
According to the Department of Transportation, 109 bicyclists were killed on city streets from 2000 through 2005, and 11 more have died this year. Bicycle advocates are lobbying city officials to make New York a friendlier place for bicyclists.
While the last statement is accurate, most policies being pushed by bicycle advocates, particularly traffic relief proposals, benefit the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians alike.

Just rode past Bronx John’s ghost bike today. . . someone stole the handlebars/stem. Inevitable I guess, but a pretty sad statement when people are stealing from memorials.

It’s a shame. I’ll be sick if I see someone riding a white stem and handlebar set.
