Here is a very classy memorial of murdered bike messengers.

I believe other memorials for deceased commuters should be made as well. We'll just make a statue of used food-gel packets and titanium fragments for the racers. I'm not raggin' on you racers. Even Lance Armstrong had some guy with a domestic violence record try to kill him. As the article said, "If a guy as good as Lance was just barely able to escape death, what does this say for safety of the rest us? Anyone who survives car traffic these days is a hero- the greater of cars to contend with, the more heroic!

Thanks for letting us know about the site. I checked my home (near Houston) and was sad to see we had one. I was glad, after looking at other cities, to see we had just one.

Ride Safe.
