n San Fransisco and I was looking to do the same in Chicago. I found a lot of ghost bikes up north still up, but a lot of the south-side bikes seemed to have been taken down. I was told by a Steven from streetsblog Chicago and Oboi from Slow Roll that usually the city policy was to have a hands-off policy, so I'm guessing that these were perhaps taken down by local establishments. (The ones I visited were Hector's at Western/Ogden and Frederick's at 18th and Racine). If anyone can shed some light on this, let me know. …

Vollman Ghost Bike Installation - 3/27/2011
On Sunday March 27 at 4:00 pm a ghost bike will be dedicated for Timothy Vollmann. This ceremony will take place at Comanche and the I-25 frontage road on the north east corner, where Vollmann died December 2, 2010.
Duke City Wheelmen Foundation will be placing this ghost bike with the family and others who knew Mr. Vollmann, especially those from the University of New Mexico's School of Law. Vollmann was an attorny and taught at the School of Law. His death impacted many who knew him as an attorney, instructor and advocate of Native American and Civil Rights, as well as family and friends. This is the second loss for UNMs School of Law due to a bicycling fatality. James Quinn, a first year law student, was killed when a "Careless Driver" slammed into him and his wife while they were riding lawfully on the shoulder of Route 66 (NM 333) in Tijeras Canyon in 2007.
Meaghan Wilbur, Director of the Ghost Bike Documentary Film, will also be there to film this important Albuquerque, New Mexico ghost bike installation. Wilbur spent several days in Albuquerque last August, capturing Albuquerque area ghost bikes and also interviewing people who's lives have been intimately affected by these deaths. She will be back this weekend to continue to document the unfolding ghost bike and bicycle advocacy movement in Albuquerque, New Mexico.…
s suggested: Available dates at the moment: Thu March 27, Sun March 30 Thu April 3, Fri April 4, Sat April 5, Sun April 6

We probably need to act soon. Who's in? What date?
By Laura Jacqmin, Directed by Sara Sawicki : "Ora and Eddie fell in love with Chicago on their bikes. But when Eddie is hit by a car and killed, Ora refuses to let him go. Instead, she rides beneath our city to bring him back, facing off against underworld gods and ghosts -some interested in helping her, some determined to get in her way. The more difficult her journey becomes, the more Ora must question what it is she’s journeying towards. In Ghost Bike, Chicago culture skitches off of Greek, African, and Chinese mythology, sparking a spirited mash-up of underworld and after-life as seen from the seats of fixies, BMX’s and ten-speeds."
