Thank you, Gary , for suggesting the Ghost Bike group.
We welcome any and all support from the cycling community in this request for help placing a ghost bike. All of our ghost bikes are the direct result of the community rallying together. Thank you!

Hi, I'm hoping for a little help. I was contacted this morning by Lindy Korner, widow of cyclist Joseph Korner who was bicycling north near 3559 North Lincoln in Lakeview when he was hit by a car. She is asking for my help to have a ghost bike built for her husband. Here's the background information: http://www.thechainlink.org/forum/topics/bicyclist-dies-more-than-a...
She reached out to Ride of Silence to request a ghost bike and hasn't heard back yet. I realize the group must be quite busy, could someone let me know what the best way is to start the process so that Lindy can have a memorial ghost bike set up for her husband? Much appreciated. Thank you.
