  1. What a beautiful bike! I’m sure you get told it looks like a “ghost bike” a lot but I like that. It’s very memento mori of you. Stay safe & have fun!

    Still a classless choice

    Edit to elaborate: I feel this absolutely takes away from the ghost bikes left to honor those who died on a bike, kinda feels like you don’t respect that or care. Even if you do that’s how it comes across to others

  3. It has enough details for me to not think you’re riding a ghost bike. I think it looks dope, congratz

  4. I like that your bike lends to so much visibility, I’ve been feeling nervous on late nights if I get off work late and it’s getting dark. I have bright and flashing lights and a bright outfit but I’ve been debating adding some bright tape to my bike too.

    Just a sanity check, am I the only one who’s never heard of a ghost bike? I’ve lived in multiple major cities in the US and never seen or heard of them.

  6. I know everyone else is mentioning the ghost bike thing, but it’s seriously so creepy. Does it not feel weird to be riding something like that all the time?

  7. I absolutely love the all white. Nice aesthetic bike, glad you ride it instead of hanging on a wall.

  8. I used to bike over the Jefferson street bridge when I was lucky enough to commute from East Nashville to Metro Center. Sometimes the wind catches you just right and pushes you into traffic. Fun.

    It’s like wearing a white dress as a wedding guest.

    You could be forgiven if you truly didn’t realize the tradition but absolutely no one will believe that you didn’t know.

    You could put some colorful accents on this bike OP. If you didn’t know now you do, no excuse.

    Your bike does look nice but I wouldn’t own one like that because I’d be so in my head I’d accidentally swerve into oncoming traffic.

    That looks like the last bike you’ll ever need.

    I didn’t get into cycling until I moved to SF (after the other cities), so I was probably just out of the loop or didn’t know what I was looking at. I’m plugged into the local cycling community and there have sadly been many incidents in the area, but haven’t heard local organizations talk about setting up ghost bikes in memoriam. I know I’m an outlier though!
