Ghost bike in Roseville?   Message List

Re: [bikingroseville] Ghost bike in Roseville?

Kristine,

thanks for sharing the info, I had never heard of ghost bikes.

I tried to alter the URL to http://www.ghostcars.org/ but that yielded no result. Motorized traffic fatalities outnumber cycling fatalities in the US by roughly 70 to one and having ghost cars would seem an even more efficient way of getting the point across.

Does anybody know if such a thing exists? The most I have seen was a hubcap placed next to a cross at a place where a traffic accident had occurred.

Safe riding,
bjorn

Hey, I was just curious if anyone else noticed what looks like a "Ghost Bike" in Old Town Roseville across the street from El Charro on the Pacific Street Cafe side?  It definitely looks the part: painted all white with flat tires and chained to a post, but there was no placard.

Is this old news?

For anyone who hasn't heard of ghost bikes:
