Patchelicious Posted February 13, 2017 Share think the idea is of ALL Ghost bikes, as a place where they can all be remembered, and their stories shared Indeed. A thread for all of them so we can keep track of these somehow and make sure they get looked after to some extent as the cycling community.Brilliant! nice one guys! Must get those pics of BDFs up and Gregs when its done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted February 13, 2017 Share Have not heard anything further about the one for Andrew. I still have a rolling chassis for this if the family gives the OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubehunter Posted February 13, 2017 Share Roy Smith's memorial bike in Bakoven was removed some months ago Unfortunately if you only lock it down, someone will come and cut the lock and remove it eventually. Plus the residents in some of these areas will complain if it starts looking run down, which is what the idea behind this thread was actually. To somehow take ownership of these memorials to our fallen brothers and sisters and actively look to keep these in presentable condition so that they are not removed. They make for extremely well received gifts to the families that lose a loved one and also serve as a reminder to every motorist going by (often daily) that as cyclists we are human too!

Johan A Marais Posted February 13, 2017 Share Sho, I was actually considering a FB page with this, and the whole explanation around it. Do it, great idea, and will get much more visibility outside of our community - great idea. Let me know when up and running so I can like, follow and share.

Patchelicious Posted February 13, 2017 Share I rode past Bryne's (BDFs) a few days ago, its a bit over grown. I'll go trim the grass around it, put some new flowers down and take a pic for the thread this weekend when I get back to JHB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
