Ghost Bike (17th & Lincoln)

Ghost bikes are roadside memorials for cyclists that have been killed or severely injured, typically by a motor vehicle. These bikes are intended to be a reminder to share the road, while simultaneously honoring the life of the person whose life was lost.

​

This particular bike is to honor the life of Marcellus Augustus Saladin Jobim Tryk, also known as Donald.
