According to their website http://ghostbikes.org: Ghost Bikes are small and somber memorials for bicyclists who are killed or hit on the street. A bicycle is painted all white and locked to a street sign near the crash site, accompanied by a small plaque
I didn’t see a plaque with this one and it is not on the map on the Ghost Bike website map. However there is a name: Scott Dwane Lane and a date: 1956 – 2012 marked on the bicycle itself.

2015-08-02 13:30I had not heard of “ghost bikes” prior to this theme day, but think it is a good idea. Firstly, as a memorial, and seconly as a warning to both cyclist AND motorist. I like the idea of non-sanctioned GBs more than the official ones.

2015-08-02 17:07We have had ghost bikes appear here, also. Does give one pause and time to reflect on safety issues.
