Ghost Bike

Ghost Bike by .supernova..
The team of about 25 activists are part of an organization called GhostCycle, which has spent the past three months collecting online submissions of bicycle accidents across the city.

The group mapped the locations of about 140 accidents. Then, under cover of darkness, they placed 40 painted bikes at collision sites, each with an ominous sign reading "A cyclist was struck here."

The project highlights many of the areas around the city that are dangerous for bicyclists. The goal: To improve the safety of city streets for cycling.

I've seen these all over the city. You really captured the feeling that I think they were trying to convey when the bicycles were placed there. This is really a great picture.
