Visual Resistance Remembers Liz Padilla





This week, in memory of Liz Padilla, a 28-year old bicyclist who was killed last week by a truck in New York, members of Visual Resistance put up a memorial on the streets of Park Slope. In memory of Liz, VR locaed an all white bicycle on street sign with a small plaque above it.

VR writes on their weblog - "The installation is meant as a reminder of the tragedy that took place on June 9 at the corner of Warren and 5th Ave., and a quiet statement in support of bikers' right to safe travel. It was inspired by Ghost Bike Pittsburgh, which was in turn inspired by a similar effort in St. Louis. We'd like to never have to do this again."
