(Chicago)

You’ve seen them. Leaning against a street-light,
they seem to almost glow, plastic flowers hung around their painted
white frames. A small plaque with a stark name serves as a haunting
reminder.
There are 30 ghost bikes in and surrounding Cook County, but the
bikes aren’t unique to Chicago. Originating in St. Louis in the early
2000’s, the bikes have become an international symbol, a memorial
constructed after a cyclist’s death by a motorist.
