Tucson tribute to fallen bicyclist ~

Spread out all over Tucson are impromptu memorials to bicyclists who were killed by motorists. This one is on Ft Lowell west of Campbell. These "Ghost Bikes" are not unique to Tucson - they are an international effort to raise awareness of sharing the road with bikes. Click here to read more about the Ghost Bike movement.

  2. We've had a few here in St. Paul too; I appreciate the reminder since so many of our cyclists need to brush up on bike protocol and safety standards yet I feel very creepy as I pass them by.
