Ghost Bikes in Poland

There are numerous ghost bikes around the US and Poland has one also last year, in £ódź.
They are painted white after someone dies on the road in a bike accident, some are adorned with flowers and decorated with a plack with the name of the deceased.

For those who never heard about it.

The first Polish ghost bike has been set November 2, 2009, in Lodz invented by Wojciech Makowski from Phenomenon Foundation. Initially, the spirit was to be set during the journey of a critical mass of 30 October, but decided to move the unveiling of the spirit of All Souls' Day on the bike. The Spirit stood at the gate of the Old Cemetery. While the symbolic unveiling of the organizers called for improving the situation on Polish roads, which, according to statistics are the least safe for cyclists in the entire European Union.

Yep, they have them around chicago also. I took this pic a few weeks ago.

Cool idea!

Really a great idea....anything to get drivers to stop at crosswalks here...

Very interesting indeed. In California people sometimes leave a cross, flowers and lighted candles, on the spot where someone has died. Not only for victims who've died from accidents, but also victims of violent crimes, such as gun shots.

We should install a lot of ghost bikes here in Isfahan,,, or maybe bunches of ghost bike !

Are the roads that bad in Iran?
I always thought it would be a good idea,at accident black spots (every country has them) to leave or re place a wrecked car. Im sure that would work better than a speed camera sign.

damnit... and here I was expecting a story about bikes riding themselves in Poland. :(

They are not good, but I said that because of the way of driving in here.


I agree with you.

Ah, sorry, I was using a lazy english expression, by asking if the roads were that bad I meant with bad drivers :)
I imagine Isfahan has decent enough roads structuraly :)
