Ghost Bikes

emmabutton:

On the junction by scala in Kings Cross, there is a new ghost bike. It is almost unrecognisable because of all the flowers. It’s covered most the way up the lamp post in flowers.
It breaks my heart because whoever lost their life there was obviously so, so loved.
It’s not so hard to take a second look for cyclists before you turn. To have an extra 10 seconds of consideration. I can say this now as a driver as well as a cyclist. Just look. Open your eyes.
And rest in peace, whoever you are.
