Amen to that K & E. Before I finally gave up my apartment in Sarasota,
Florida, I had a bike and would have ridden everywhere rather than driving,
but it was just too dangerous in the downtown area – no one paid any
attention to cyclists and there were accidents all the time.

Great post about a great street art project. More drivers need to be remided that their vehicle is a deadly weapon. And bad/ignorant/careless/stupid driving leads to the deaths of bikers (non-motorized & motorized) every day.

As a cyclist, I think these are wonderful. I haven’t seen any in Toronto though there have certainly been cycling deaths here. In my experience, drivers need to be more aware of cyclists so if this helps, great. I should also mention that there are cyclists who need to be more respectful of drivers as well. Thanks for the post.

I miss biking and i hope next time i would have the chance to be biking over the mountains, guess i need to find a group of bikers who does this regularly.

Hello there, i am thinking of getting a new motorbike for my husband. He however is very concerned around what type of injuries could happen from biking accidents. Look his passion is sports so if he was hurt, he would likely kill himself, no laughs. Do you think motorbiking injuries most likley occur, or is it usually only death!

Barbara, thanks for educating me on this. I really had no idea. I agree with Matt; combining art and social message is wonderful – after all, aren’t they really the same thing? I will keep an eye out for them and check out the other websites!

I absolutely love finding these bikes everywhere. This was a great idea for a post as my girlfriend has taken a ton of pictures of these all over China and Central Asia. I really like the idea of having memorials to them because even the oldest rusty old bike looks like art to me.

What a special story. Compliments to the power of the people who have placed and maintained these memorials. In Australia, you occasionally see small bunches of flowers and a small cross, especially on the country highways whuch you know marks another death on our roads but I admire the idea of marking cyclists who sadly are more likely to pay the ultimate price if involved in an accident.
