Are the white bikes at roadsides in memory

[Wally]

of cyclists who have died in road accidents?
Sorry if this is common knowledge, but I didn't know and have just read an article that seemed to suggest it.

Yes.

Yes - ghost bikes - though happily I haven't seen one personally.

In the UK we have a monument in Meriden.
Each year, the cycling community gather to pay their respects to any cyclist who has been killed 'for King and Country' and on the roads.

The Meriden 'Memorial Weekend' has just passed. May 16-17.
