Ghost Bikes
Ghost bikes are memorials organized by Times Up and Visual Resistance (also associated with the NYC Street Memorial Project) to commemorate all of those who have died riding their bikes throughout New York City. A bicycle is painted entirely white, locked to a street sign near the scene of the crash, and affixed with a plaque. They bring attention to the dangers that cyclists face every day and call for changes to be made to address these risks. The memorializing of bikers killed on the streets of the city also invigorates activists to take the to streets, literally. And it is by getting greater numbers of cyclists on the streets that bicycling becomes safer.
