Shane Vandermeer memorial and ghost bike

Thanks to Bruce Hawkings for this photo of the ghost bike erected on Friday as a part of the memorial gathering for Shane Vandermeer, killed this week on Franklin Boulevard in Cambridge near the Highway 401 ramp.

The event was sponsored by the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group and Recycle Cycles. The ghost bike may be familiar to people in Toronto, but not so much in Waterloo Region. I'm sad to see one here, and hope it makes people think about cycling safety.
