It is almost unrecognisable because of all the flowers. It’s covered most the way up the lamp post in flowers.<br/> It breaks my heart because whoever lost their life there was obviously so, so loved. <br/> 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. <br/> And rest in peace, whoever you are.</p> </blockquote>http://ghostbikesfilm.com/post/14122190324http://ghostbikesfilm.com/post/14122190324Mon, 12 Dec 2011 12:31:06 -0500londonghost bikes<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm1n93FHEx1qcn1odo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>ghost bike for Marco Acuapan in Orange County, CA</p> <blockquote> <p>This is a <a href="http://ghostbikes.org/" target="_blank">ghost bike</a>, it appeared on my street a few weeks ago.  When a cyclist is killed a ghost bike appears shortly thereafter, painted white and typically with a plaque - a memorial for the cyclist that was killed.  Until the ghost bike came to my neighborhood I didn’t know such a thing existed.  I find it to be a beautiful but tragic memorial.</p> </blockquote> <p>via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://directorsnarrative.tumblr.com/post/6030569496/this-is-a-ghost-bike-it-appeared-on-my-street-a" target="_blank">directorsnarrative</a></p>http://ghostbikesfilm.com/post/14071298454http://ghostbikesfilm.com/post/14071298454Sun, 11 Dec 2011 12:31:05 -0500ghost bikescalifornia<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrzn2ikIJa1r3nxk5o1_500.jpg"/><br/> Copyright Mindy Messenger 9/2001<br/><br/> <img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrzn2ikIJa1r3nxk5o2_500.jpg"/><br/> Copyright Mindy Messenger 9/2001<br/><br/> <img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrzn2ikIJa1r3nxk5o3_500.jpg"/><br/> Copyright Mindy Messenger 9/2001<br/><br/> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://streetseattle.tumblr.com/post/10562535505/ghost-bike-in-memory-of-robert-townsend-off-campus" target="_blank">streetseattle</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Ghost Bike in memory of <a href="http://seattlebikeblog.com/2011/09/12/robert-townsend-killed-in-u-district-was-fastest-delivery-person-on-staff/" target="_blank">Robert Townsend</a> off Campus Parkway and University Way.</p> <p>University District, Seattle</p> </blockquote>http://ghostbikesfilm.com/post/14020595745http://ghostbikesfilm.com/post/14020595745Sat, 10 Dec 2011 12:30:06 -0500<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luhb0rpuPw1qhddtso1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://www.sidewalkfinds.com/post/12629392901/ghost-bike" target="_blank">sidewalkfinds</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Ghost bike. :(</p> </blockquote>http://ghostbikesfilm.com/post/13973243753http://ghostbikesfilm.com/post/13973243753Fri, 09 Dec 2011 12:30:05 -0500<a href="http://ifiwereabear.tumblr.com/post/12542132132/another-ghost-bike">If I were a bear: Another Ghost Bike</a>: <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ifiwereabear.tumblr.com/post/12542132132/another-ghost-bike" target="_blank">ifiwereabear</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ludhj3B5Uj1qhzhry.jpg"/></p> <p><span> </span></p> <p>It was supposed to be the happiest of times for Jenna Morrison and her husband, Florian Schuck.</p> <p>Together for a decade, they were life partners who rode out life’s crises with love and commitment.</p> <p>A yoga instructor, she was a spiritual person who supported her husband through a cancer…</p> </blockquote>http://ghostbikesfilm.com/post/13926196961http://ghostbikesfilm.com/post/13926196961Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:32:06 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lunqkmrZdj1qze0z6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://nationalpost.tumblr.com/post/12791644160/toronto-cyclists-gather-for-ride-in-honour-of" target="_blank">nationalpost</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/11/14/photos-toronto-cyclists-gather-for-ride-in-honour-of-fallen-cyclist-jenna-morrison/" target="_blank">Toronto cyclists gather for ride in honour of fallen cyclist Jenna Morrison</a><br/>David Rothberg, chairman of Niagara Capital Partners, a Bay Street hedge fund, rode his bicycle from his home in the Annex to the corner of Spadina Avenue and Bloor Street West at 7:30 a.m. Monday.
