Remembering a bicyclist

I am (in normal times) a daily bike commuter. Biking is dangerous in Boston, I do it bc I like biking, it is efficient, and I am not rich or connected to have free parking at work. A memorial that reminds us that leaders like Walsh and Baker dont care that biking is dangerous is good. Pretending its not doesnt make it so.
And the memorial saying "if some negligent asshole runs you over, there will be no Justice" is correct. You wont. The police will do everything they can to say oh well its an accident, like they did for the scientist who was killed by the hit and run driver in Kenmore several years ago before they had even tracked the killer down. They decided it was just an accident. Before even catching him, much less hearing what he said.
So a memorial saying biking in Boston is dangerous because of a lack of interest from police and politicians is doing its job. Much older cities (ie Amsterdam or Copenhagen) and more car dependent and colder American cities (Minneapolis) are much safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. They made a choice to be safer, and the people in power in Boston make a choice. Maybe we can change that choice, but not if we dont talk about it and prosecute not just the killers, but the people who drive dangerously every day who havent killed anyone yet (speeding, running lights, parking in bike lanes and on sidewalks, using their phone, not using their blinkers, driving drunk, etc.)

Those ghost bikes are creepy. I am truly sorry for those who have died, and, as a pedestrian I can attest that yes the traffic in this city is awful and drivers are often careless. But I'm not sure those ghastly bikes serve any constructive purpose and almost border on being pretentious. Surely there is a better way to honor the dead.
