Ghost Bikes

While walking across the Second Street Bridge this afternoon, I noticed a bicycle painted white, locked to the bridge.  I took a picture with my phone:

You can’t make it out in the picture, but the sign mentions the cyclist who was hit and killed last year, and a website, ghostbikes.org.

Personally, I never ride in the road on the bridge. The lanes are too narrow, and traffic moves too fast, much faster than the 35mph speed limit.
