| June incident on highway #7 |
UPDATE: This journalist has it wrong. In any situation, a bicyclist will lose with a vehicle. Rider must be vigilant and nothing will protect them except this. Seriously, bikes and trucks collide. People are hit by cars doors. You can't legislate this, and only a cyclist can practice self-defense.
Reevely: The city is totally tone-deaf on ghost bikes
The city’s transportation and planning staff seem not to notice that roadside memorials to people killed in traffic are meant to point accusing fingers at them.~~~~~~~~~~
I'm so happy! They are ubiquitous, especially with no rules. The city of Ottawa has a new plan for limiting the ghost bikes we drive-by all the time. This is what lobbying will do! A limit of 90 days.
This is a great idea. I think it so sad that people will only think of a loved one in the place where they died. There is so much more to grief and grieving, and many opportunities to navigate your way through a healthy grieving process. Hospice groups offer group and individual support.
It's a driving distraction, it crowds the sidewalk, and won't prevent another garbage truck from killing a person on a bike. Seriously.
I read about it on my Twitter feed.
BTW
Twitter is having some issues, since they've leveled off with new users, and they are finding it hard to earn a profit!
"The notion that this is creating a heightened risk for an accident, I think, is unfounded."
