Charles Nystrom, one year later — come decorate the ghost bike
I received this from Charles Nystrom’s family:
Friday, August 14, marks one year since Chuck was killed. We want to remember this day by decorating his Ghost Bike so that drivers will see it and be reminded to share the road. We are gathering at 5:30pm. The bike is located at the west entrance to Udahl Park on Tanque Verde Rd. Join us if you can.
Zoe and Teresa Nystrom

I just passed by this ghost bike today (I always tip my helmet to ghost bikes)…also just found this website today.
Can’t remember whether it was decorated or not yet, but it’s always a poignant reminder to be safe.
