Painted cyclist tribute
A ghost bike is a bicycle painted white and placed as a memorial where a cyclist was killed, typically by a vehicle.
These roadside memorials serve both to honor the dead and to raise awareness about cycling safety: A ghost bike appeared at the intersection where she was hit.
