On the topic of safer streets for cyclists, there is another project aiming to promote bicycle safety. At the same time it serves two other purposes; one as an aesthetically appealing work of art, and two, as a memorial to those who have died in bicycle/motor-vehicle collisions. These are known as ghost bikes. Bicycles painted completely white, often covered in an appealing floral arrangement, rest chained to signs located at or near the site of an accident, often including a plaque displaying the name, age and sometimes a photo of the unfortunate victim. Ghost bikes first appeared in 2003, created in St. Louis, Missouri. This thoughtful and inspiring idea quickly spread, and since its creation, has appeared in over 150 locations around the world. GhostBikes.org, a website set up by The NYC Street Memorial Project, documents all of the memorials online. I feel this is a great project, as it serves as a beautiful memorial for those who are gone, and a blatant reminder to motorists to be aware of the damage they can cause by not being careful enough. The cost of this project is minimal, as it only requires an old bike, white paint, and an arrangement of flowers.
