I had noticed this small ghost bike for some time now, especially at night, returning home from jaunts downtown. It's located right where I turn north on West End Avenue and 100th Street after coming up from the river. I have to say it is particularly jarring to see this memorial with a child's bike. It reads Jonah Shapiro, aged 9. Looking in to who this was I notice there will be a hearing this month on removing such memorials. I intend to comment on this and I hope you do to. As another blogger mentions, "Hug your family. And wear a helmet."
