So have you seen these white bikes locked up around the city where cyclists have been struck by vehicles? I love, love, love, this idea. I think it started in Pittsburgh or somewhere on the East Coast. I wonder what the criteria is for having a ghost cycle placed. It must have to do with the accident being reported, and perhaps an actual injury had to happen. I would think that, certainly, a ghost bike would be placed at the site of a fatality. There are so many rants I could go on here about cyclists being superior beings compared to pollution machine (auto) operators, but I will not, its too early in the morning. Anyway, here is a link to ghostcycle.org where you can check out what happened at sites where you see ghost bikes. In the picture above, you can see a number on the sign. Go to the ghost cycle web site and you can plug that number in to see what happened at that accident site.
