A large group of cyclists all in white would present a more striking image I think. Can even wrap a couple of crepe-bandages around your frame (if it isn't raining) to make the bike white too.
A lot of cycling gear is black, so that's quite a normal sight. People dressed all in white is not usual in this country and would stand out more.
It ties in much more with the ghost bikes themselves as well, if the riders are in white.
I'd be up for this, any day. Just name a date.
If we hammered off a shedload of flyers and dropped them in bike shops, they might agree to hand them out to customers. Although, I wonder if the might worry about promoting the image of cycling-can-kill-you. But blagging the office photocopier for a while and boshing them on the counters of my local bike shops, I could do that... If a date can be organised and a decision made about what we do/route we take etc. then I'll help wherever I can.
