A ghost bike is a memorial set up in a place where a cyclist has been killed on a public roadway. A ghost bike is often painted white and left in spot where the accident occurred as a reminder to all to share the roads.
The video below, called The Journey is the Thing, documents the making of a ghost bike for Christophe Le Canne, who was killed earlier this year in Miami. Beware, the video is not a cheery one, but it is certainly a powerful reminder of the importance of ghost bikes and the need to make our streets safe for all to share.
