Faux ghost bikes

Bad example, it's a specific type of bow, one which couldn't be accidentally replicated in tying back someone's hair.

Oh, so its a specific type of bike thats a ghost bike, its a:
-White bike, locked up by the roadside, with optional informative text or flowers.

Not a:
-Off white bike, locked up by the roadside with a fucking huge ad board on either side.

There is the same subtle difference no?
Or am I being an "idiot" again?

You are right that you won't instantly change society, which is why people need to carry on pushing ghost bikes, get it into the public subconcious. This is why ghost bikes need to kept up and supported.

No. If certain things cause no reaction you change your plan of attack. You can't change anything by doing the same thing as has always been done. You have to move forward. Not repeat, close eyes, and hope that in the future your campaign will work.
