Ghost Bike Installation
Finally, I need your help. On September 2nd, we’re going to be putting a Ghost Bike near the site of the bicycle crash that killed Club member David Pumphrey in July. A Ghost Bike is a totally white painted bike locked to a post with a sign that describes the victim and the incident. There are Ghost Bikes all over the world at the sites of fatal bicycle / motor vehicle accidents.
We plan a short procession of bicyclists behind a pick up truck holding the Ghost Bike riding to the installation site and a short installation ceremony. KOLO TV is planning to cover the event.
The whole point is to memorialize our friend and fellow Club member, and more importantly, to raise awareness in the minds of motorists and bicyclists of the need to operate our vehicles safely in each other’s presence.
The more bicyclists we have at the event, I feel, the greater the impact, so I want you to be there on your bike. Meet in the Starbucks parking lot at 9:15am on Sunday, Sept. 3rd, on the corner of Double R Blvd and So. Meadows Blvd. The Ghost Bike installation site will be in front of Rick’s Deli, a short ride away. The regular Roy Gomm rides will ride there, be part of the installation event and continue. Stand up and be counted for bicycle safety.
Have a great time cycling in September and please ride safely!
