While it may be a less emotionally powerful memorial, the sign is a much more compelling signal to drivers that they should be careful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216647.post-15955729386789975332009-09-08T10:33:39.901-04:002009-09-08T10:33:39.901-04:00As far as providing guidance to a driver goes, I t...As far as providing guidance to a driver goes, I think a sign that specifically tells you to look out for cyclists is a lot more compelling than a ghost bike.<br /><br />A bike tied to a light post in the sidewalk would probably not even be noticed by a driver. Why would you be looking at the sidewalk when you're driving, instead of the road where you should be looking? Besides, there are hundreds of bikes locked to light posts and meters everywhere at any given point in time.<br /><br />Non sequitur, but someone with a white bicycle has started locking it in front of my house every day.
