  • Ghost bikes are in no worse taste than any other memorial. A war memorial is arguably in far worst taste as having it isn't going to cause a direct change in attitude among people that see it; no lives will be saved because people see a war memorial in the morning. Who ever got sleepy after a heavy lunch and as a result started a war?

    Tom, that is a dreadful analogy to use.

    In WW 2 people fought and died for the freedoms you and I enjoy today, sounds cheesy but its true, respect fail.

    A granite plinth to commemorate the loss of hundreds of lives who died for a just cause is a worthy memorial imo.

    And lets be realistic a shitty bike painted all white isn't going to save any ones life is it?

    The point is in my opinion its a tactless and fruitless exercise which is trite and corny if I buy it on the road on my bike or otherwise I don't want such a gauche memorial or any at all for that matter.

    You take your chances on the road. If you don't like it get the bus.
