That ghost bikes stuff is good. I don't understand though, I live in Chicago, and bikers get a lot here. People do die on the road but it don't think it's out of proportion. Overall Chicago is a pretty bike friendly city, barring the few instances of SUV vs. Biker road rage--but hey, you can't change those people, they will always be like that. p.s. south halsted street needs to hurry up with that construction--I've popped about 10 freakin inter tubes already =/ p.p.s. the ghost bike project is very touching. props to you guys.
