4 Tires=$307...

The ability to place Ghost Bikes all over Georgia for my fallen friends...PRICELESS! Man I'm glad we have so many miles of bike paths and salaries for the cycling adocacy groups. I'm wondering when they are going to face the facts that people killing innocent people on bike are on the rise and they're getting away with it most of the time!! HOLDING EVERYONE ACCOUNTABLE IS THE ONLY ANSWER TO SLOW DOWN NON RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE! #cycling #ghostbike #cyclingsafety #bicycleadvocacy

Like Angels in the Night!

I can only confirm, by my own personal experience, they are real! They do exist! One helped me out of the road and out of unconsciensiousness & for some reason left me on the scene to continue this life! Not sure how this appeared but can't leave our friend without a bike to ride! RIP Jason Young. We'll always remember, never forget you! #ghostbike #BFA #bicycleadvocacy #cyclingsafety

DUI LAWS (PENALTIES) HAVE TO GET SEVERE!!

I've copied and pasted the following from a FB post concerning a head on collision with a few riders that were part of a group ride last night!! Until our DUI laws penalties are severe enough to make people completely stop this will continue, sadly! Praying for a full recovery of all the hurt riders and may the driver who was intoxicated be prosecuted to the fullest. Here's what I copied... Most of you have probably heard about the very unfortunate incident that occurred on l

RIP My Friend, I'll Never Forget You!

Started off this day , as has become the norm, by meeting the 6AM group for a ride. But on all other days of the work week, the rest of the year, we meet at the Arch in front of Agnes Scott College, but today, April 30th we meet at the Ghost Bike Rack on the corner of Clairemont & Ponce in honor of our fallen friend Paul Taylor who lost his life 3 years ago today. I still work on, sadly, each ghost bike that is made by Bikefriendlyatl with the first hand knowledge of what eac

Seems Like Yesterday..RIP Chandler

I received a message a young boy had been hit south of the Atl. Not knowing any of the circumstances, my heart sunk due to having been there, I began to pray for him and his family in hopes of not building another Ghost Bike. The tragic news came in shortly after...another friend needs a bike to ride home, sadly again I cry as I make my way to the stall to get a ride for my friend. Chandler Weems was taken home way too early and I'm not sure if there will ever be enough done
