Yes, this is the one for Sher Kung, who was famously killed a year ago last August a week before the protected bike line opened in that exact location that might have saved her life.
The ghost bike thing makes me wonder why the German company Ghost Bikes chose that name.
Kind of like when Chevy decided to market a car in Mexico without considering that the model name, Nova, means "Doesn't Go" in Spanish.
