About 20 people gathered for the placement of this ghost bike on highway 124 at mile marker 22. It was a sad occasion, but one that still had all the life and vibrancy that it seems John possessed.Continue

Comment by gleejb on March 23, 2010 at 8:10am: The Duke City Wheelmen Foundation is a non-profit organizations that places ghost bikes. We will place a ghost bike for the cyclist killed March 22, 2010 while cycling on the bike path adjacent to Paseo del Norte. Our sympathies go out to the family and friends of this cyclist. If any of you reading this have an old bicycle you would like to donate, please let gleejb know here on Duke City Fix. Thanks.

Comment by gleejb on March 4, 2010 at 8:09am: Cyclist Roy Sekreta was killed two years ago yesterday, March 3. He was hit by a driver who fled the scene, but because the driver returned half an hour later, he was not charged with hit and run.

Look for a ghost bike back up for Roy soon - at Comanche and the bike path.
