May 8, 2007 the second anniversary of Brandie Bailey’s death.
Brandie Bailey Memorial

Ghost Bike
A couple of days later someone used the left-behind chalk to leave the message. “Died on Fixed Bike.” There is some controversy concerning the safety of fixed gear bikes, braking is accomplished by pedaling in reverse. This seems a harsh thing to say at her memorial, seemingly blaming her choice of transportation on the accident. All chalk messages were gone the next day, after a heavy rain.

Brandie Bailey - Ghost Bike Memorial

I often pass this Ghost Bike memorial for Brandie Bailey a young woman killed while riding her bike at this intersection on May 8, 2005. It is touching how her friends constantly maintain it with flowers, notes and photos. But it is even more touching how the bike has remained unchained and unmolested for so long.
