The streetside shrine for Nils Linke, aka Yannick among his friends, now has a ghost bike.
[UPDATE: It's a mystery to me where it came from. See comments.] Seems as if this was a project from The Derailleurs: San Francisco Bay Area Bike Dance. A memorial ride is planned.
This is the scene at the intersection of Turk Street and Masonic Avenue this afternoon:

The four handbills reprinting news reports taped to poles in the area were methodically taken down, but this bike will be harder to remove so it should stick around a little longer.
R.I.P. Yannick.

The Derailleurs can’t take credit for this one, actually – we wish we could, because it’s beautiful, but ours isn’t done yet. Cheers to the speedy anonymous artist(s), and here’s hoping it stays around.
Thanks for your comment. Maybe we’ll found out who did it sometime…
Thanks.
