Annually nearly 50,000 cyclists are killed or injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes. Painted white bikes or “Ghost Bikes” are placed throughout the country at many of these fatal crash sites as reminders of a tragedy that took place on otherwise anonymous street corners. The bikes are quiet statements in support of a cyclist’s right to safe travel
