I spent yesterday with a friend who was unfamiliar with GhostBikes, so when I happened to pass this one in memory of Mathieu Lefevre, I snapped a photo to send her. Mathieu died in October of 2011 when he was struck by a flatbed truck on Morgan Avenue in Brooklyn. The driver didn't stop, claiming he was unaware he'd hit anyone. Mathieu's death received a great deal of press attention after the NYPD decided not to file charges against the truck driver. These street memorials always stop me in my tracks when I encounter them, and I spend a careful moment studying the items placed on and around the bike. They all seem purposely chosen in this case, but I do wonder about the can of Pabst Blue Ribbon tucked just above the pedal near the street light base. Seems that placement could be either deliberate (a tribute to a favorite brew) or random (a pedestrian with a morbid sense of humor and an empty beer can to get rid of). I hope Mathieu's parents get some better answers from the police, soon. Their son had about the kindest expression in his eyes I've ever seen.
