ghost bikes
White bikes honor cyclists
Ghost bikes are white-painted bicycles placed at locations where cyclists have been killed in traffic accidents.
They serve as memorials to the dead and as visible reminders to drivers of cycling's dangers.
The practice began in the early 2000s and has spread worldwide: A ghost bike appeared at the intersection where she was struck.
