Well, perhaps they didn't complain about it publicly (or perhaps that was why it was removed), but I can't help wondering how many parents saw that memorial (or others like it) and decided not to allow their children to ride to school as a result. Again, I'm not entirely sure why so many cyclists have this fascination with death.
As someone has already pointed out, there are plenty of motorists killed on roads each year, but you don't see car manufacturers running around and making a song and dance about the fact.
