Ghost bike segment on BBC London news now

saw one for a guy named smudge amongst others.

yea i just happened to catch that, the first time i've seen a tv since i got here and that was what was playing. i was glad to see it... it's probably a pretty prime time right now for tv newswatchers. hopefully it'll raise awareness with at least a couple people!

a few of the guys that put up the bikes are on here, particularly (smallbrownbike)matt. thought it might be of interest. welcome to london!

That chap Smudge was friends with a few of my friends. It's tragic.

for anyone that wants to see it.

A couple of days ago, I was in a cab going through Central Park in New York (65th Street) when I saw a Ghost Bike by the road. It made quite an impression. I hope that they make similar impressions on drivers.

had to explain the concept to a couple of peds that were looking curiously at the one at the bottom of stamford hill. they were shocked by its meaning and saddened, ghost bikes are great way to spread awareness and provoke respect for road safety etc.

"even with training, london's unlikely to be truly safe for cyclists, so the ghost bikes will stay..."

what?! that sounds so encouraging, thanks bbc!

I saw the Smudge ghost bike on Tuesday and gave it some thoughts.

Then today I cycled to pick up some records shleve, and had to use taxi for the return trip with my bike in the back. Me and driver got chatting about cycling around London, it turns out he was one of the witness for that incident. It was truly tragic and had me thinking all day.
