Nicely written piece. Excellent photo of a very cool ghost bike.

This has been a weird year, with many things not responding to life support, regardless of the number of members.

Man these are gut wrenching to read. I well up every time I observe a post about the death of cyclist...

Thanks for bringing these posts to us, my riding awareness certainly goes up every time. And my heart bleeds for the ones that have suffered the worse....

Damn automobiles (death machines!)

Probably some percentage of "economic downturn" in the mix somewhere.

I think the economy is a significant factor.

Nice article.

I used to live very close to the scene of the crash. Lots of restaurants, bars, shops, people out and about. The article resonates also with my memories of hanging out in that neighborhood.
