To mark the tenth anniversary of the Ghost Bike Montreal initiative, the group organized a moving tribute to cyclists and pedestrians killed on Quebec roads.
The dedicated bike path along St-Denis street in Montreal has become so popular that it s expected to be expanded, but not everyone is thrilled with the idea.
MONTREAL An all-white “ghost” bike was installed in Villeray Saturday to honour Louis Morency who was struck and killed nine years ago while riding his bike to work. Her daughter, Jeanne Morency, was only 15 months old. “I don’t have any memories of my father,” she said. Louis Morency was biking from his Rosemont home to work in Laval when he was struck by a garbage truck and died in 2012, according to Vélo fantôme, the organization that makes and maintains the ghost bikes. The family requested the bike be placed at the intersection of Christophe-Colomb Avenue and Mistral Street.
