What that durn red nosed dog placed on the Brandie Bailey ghost bike’s seat is an irreverent but not totally unaesthetic addition. Those artificial flowers, still vibrant from the memorial in May, have tarted up the bike of late, possibly drawing the attention of the dog. Previously real flowers were used and when they faded, the dried remnants gave a more solemn air.

Summer Streets – August 23, NYC from GammaBlog on Vimeo.

I rigged a harness to hold the camera firmly against my chest while I rode. I figured this would be the steadiest place to put it. It worked adequately. This event was a lot of fun. I hope the city does this more often.
