Who can help get some ghost bikes made?

The Chicago Ride of Silence is approaching on May 15.

This year's ride will take a new route, and several ghost bikes need to be installed in advance of the ride.

They are for:

Jackie M- Wabash and Wacker

Ryan B- 18th/Clark

Frederick K- 18th/ Morgan

Yuan Z-24th/Archer

I'm looking for help getting bikes and signs together to install shortly before the ride.

I was thinking of maybe having a workday this and/or next Sunday, May 5 and May 12.

Please let me know if you can help and what your availability is.

Fred's prior bike and sign can be seen here:

Jackie's prior bike and sign can be seen here:

(click the images to make the sign text legible).

Using a message board to organize can be an iffy process, so please help keep it lean and mean by not introducing discussion not directly related to the preparation for May 15, and also by not supporting such discussion with a reaction.

I can do this Sunday afternoon. Do you already have the donor bikes? And where  would we be working? I can bring a few cans of paint or some supplies if you need.

I can inquire at Working Bikes if we still need bikes. Believe it or not, even Working Bikes scraps the bikes at the bottom of their barrel. Do we still need four bikes?

I just picked white up spray paint while I happened to be in the burbs.  I only got two cans, but I think it's the good stuff that Howard recommended in a previous post.

I have two cans of spray paint to donate to the cause, but I cannot work on bikes tonight.  Can I deliver paint to anyone who headed down there tonight?  I'm in Logan Square and I can drop off earlier, just not this evening.

I am taking care of Neill's and can do other ones on the Northside. I asked Elizabeth which ones need it.
