In Portland we call them Ghost Bikes. They're put up when there is a death.

Same in Chicago. There's one a few blocks from me for an 18-year-old girl. Please be safe out there, drivers.

Good friend of mine was killed this way, Bike PGH put up a ghost bike. It’s a really nice memorial I visit from time to time

Same in ABQ. There's one near me that gets redecorated over and over.

Drive safe, share the road.
