Hopefully, you forward and repost this link and maybe even become a backer (every dollar helps). I greatly appreciate you taking the time to look at this link and pass it along. <br />Check out the project here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1004330446/the-ghost-bike-project<br /><br />Thank you!!<br /><br />GeneaAnonymoushttp://www.geneabarnes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580218268291985619.post-62662469886929617492012-01-22T20:33:35.570-05:002012-01-22T20:33:35.570-05:00Update:

Some to survivors (others to the DOT?). <br /><br />The Glastonbury Citizen had an article on the bike on Hebron Ave this past week. I don't know if it published before the bike was taken down. <br /><br />Hope these bikes did some good while up, and started some discussions and momentum for improving safety, particularly for vulnerable non-motorized users. Will keep Beat Bike Blog readers up to date with any news on Burnside safety events and DOT studies.<br /><br />Stay safe and visible out there!Tony Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683879891936128769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580218268291985619.post-67618697558106122992012-01-14T11:05:58.618-05:002012-01-14T11:05:58.618-05:00Another spin off article on sharing the road, and ...Another spin off article on sharing the road, and responsibility for safety.

I write a blog about spontaneous shrines and public memorialization (http://spontaneousshrines.wordpress.com/) and am fascinated by the global ghost bike movement. I'm curious if the bikes will be put up again in the spring--once the snow/snowplows are gone?

She wants to meet and thank folks, as it meant a lot.

Trying to contact survivors so they have the opportunity to keep the memorial bikes, if they would find them comforting. So far one of the bikes is spoken for, and I left my number at the grocery of the other recent death on Burnside.<br /><br />Stopped by the Burnside GB's this evening on my way home. The one in front of the grocery has a multitude of tributes in black Sharpie to the fallen riders. I didn't expect that the white paint would serve as a canvas. Yet another aspect of how a ghost bike can serve a community and grieving survivors.<br /><br />I'm considering writing an article (more formal than these blogs) for the Courant. Supposed to call Tom Condon, who's interested, which I should do tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion Sandy. Maybe I should have Ken K edit or co-write, since he's the ex-journalist and all?Tony Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683879891936128769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580218268291985619.post-42833185819127087942011-11-27T12:50:14.664-05:002011-11-27T12:50:14.664-05:00Special thanks to Linda, who supplied the photo fo...Special thanks to Linda, who supplied the photo for this post.Tony Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683879891936128769noreply@blogger.com
