Drake Okusaku ghost bike up on one-year anniversary of his death

fatality, ghostbikes May 29th, 2010

I just got this today from my friend S:

Hi Erik,
Just wondered if you could post info on the ghost bike I just got up for Drake
Okusako. Here’s a blip if you want to put it on the blog. Thanks – S

Yet another ghost bike is up to remind people to drive safely and watch for bikers
at the site where Randolph boy’s soccer coach, Drake Okusako was killed by a
reckless driver one year ago today. Coach Oke collected soccer medals. If you have
any old soccer medals you can donate, please bring them to the site and they will be
glued onto the memorial just south of Broadway on the west side of Alvernon (in
front of the Reffkin Tennis Center).

More about Okusako here.

    Someone is filming a ghost bike documentary. I read about it at: http://bikeportland.org/2010/06/14/filmmaker-visits-portland-and-vancouver-to-document-ghost-bikes/

    Might be worth talking to the film crew about Drake’s ghost bike… it is very sad how quickly people forget those who die on bicycles
