I have two U locks to donate to this cause.  One is a Kryptonite (sometimes sticks, so not perfectly trustable for constant use), the other's an OnGuard (for which I only have one key, and they don't sell dupes?!?!?  I tried.  Bastards.).  Anyhow, I'm holding them both just for eventual GB use.  If I can bring them somewhere in advance (I have very little room) do tell.  Or if they'll never be useful, do tell.

Bullies are everywhere. Never negotiate with terrorists. They hate our freedoms.

I apologize if I'm a little late to the party, but are you suggesting that we no longer have any rides to do with the ghost bikes, Howard?

I would just like to throw down a +1 on everything Howard said.

Howard,

I recently helped with installing a ghost bike, and I found it to be a great experience. Not nearly as somber as expected.

Which other ghost bikes are requested that you refer below? I don't see any specific requests? I can be available for painting and installing it.

I don't have bikes available for it, but I can arrange for the other parts.

Oops, thanx! 22

Answer the math question Andrew...

We never agree, but I'd be interested in hearing consensus. Personally, I hold that information must be free, and that a bolt cutting serial psychopath sounds like paranoia.

Andrew,

 

how did you come up with the number 32 years after the fact?  Are you just not very good at math?

I put up a page for the newest:

More backstory welcome.
