I share the concerns about ghost bikes and dealing with wishes of family/friends of victims.
I think the ghost bike system works voluntarily, if family and friends want it, the ghost bike website tells them how to go about it. For London there are two sites http://www.ghostbikes.org/london and http://www.ghostcycle.org.uk/
It might an idea to do a load of them at once for a limited period, then to take them down if we don't know that the family want the ghost bike to stay.There is already a ghost bike for Anthony Smith (killed in April) on Middleton Road E8 by Kingsland road.
Vikcy McCreery was (no 2 on list) was killed in May 2004, going north on Blackfriars bridge, about a third of the way across. I think her husband is away travelling at the moment. Another woman was run down on Blackfriars last month but I don't think she was killed.
