“For Joe, creating the bike was a cathartic experience. The loss of his best friend spurred him into action, and he spoke to a few close friends about a memorial for Dan. “We kind of thought, we need something manly to do; we need to build something to get Dan’s friends together,” explains Joe. “So we thought we should build a bike.” — Ghost bikes make a fitting memorial in London
