Two Denver cyclists were hit and killed in December. Then, the memorial bikes left at the scene were hit again by cars. “To have (the memorials) taken out by cars is a stark reminder of how they were killed. It is sickening.”
Two ghost bike memorials for riders killed in northwest Denver in December have been hit by motorists, prompting determination by survivors and the community to work toward making roads safer for bicyclists and pedestrians.
A ghost bike memorial for Rocklin has been hit twice by motorists, while a memorial for O’Neil has been hit once. None of those drivers stopped. “It’s extremely frustrating, the families have suffered so much already and then to have this happen,” said David Chen, a member of Denver Bicycle Lobby, a nonprofit organization advocating for bicyclists and traffic safety. “To have taken out by cars is a stark reminder of how they were killed. It is sickening.”
