Was about to post and link to that article.
It's an awkward dilemma. On the one hand i think it's important to remember those fallen, and it's a good reminder to cyclists and motorists to be gentler on the road.
On the other hand, I've had two instances this week where I had to defend cycling in London after suggesting two friends get bikes to commute the 2 mile journey from home to uni instead of using bus/ tube.
They mentioned the ghost bikes they saw acted as a cautionary tale that at best makes them pause for thought and at worst think cycling in London is a completely deadly activity.
