Honoring Tucson bicyclists ~

In honor of today's world famous El Tour de Tucson bicycle race, I'm posting one of Tucson's ghost bikes. The ghost bikes honor bicyclists who have been killed by motorists. This one is for Kevin Robinson. For more information on both the race and the world-wide Ghost Bike project, click the links below.

  1. We've had a number of Ghost Bikes in St. Paul. In one respect, they are a beautiful memorial yet in another, I feel that they are a little creepy.

  2. Kate! I feel exactly the same way! But I think the "little creepy" factor makes them all the more powerful as a reminder to be careful while we drive.
