Ghost Bike at Meyran & Louisa needs help

It was just brought to my attention that the ghost bike we put out last year has been severely damaged.


I plan on getting out to replace/fix it this week, but I recall someone saying Bob at Iron City Bikes has the key for the lock. Can anyone confirm this?


Also, it seems someone got the front wheel off of it. Anyone have an old wheel I can throw on there?


Thanks guys,

Nick

Yeah - if it's the same lock, I left the key with Bob at Iron City.

Thanks, Salty.


I'm going to buy paint tonight after work and hopefully get out there Thursday/Friday.


I just want to get it cleaned up before the city removes it for being an eye sore.

I finally got out to fix it up last night. It has a new coat of paint and a new sign.



Props to Kris Mortensen for the picture. He met me out there last night to get more footage for the web documentary he is working on about the ghost bike and cycling in general.
