About 15-20 bike safety advocates held a brief rally tonight at the site of yesterday’s fatal bike/bus collision on SW Farmington Road just west of Murray Blvd.
Participants held signs and placed tea lights and flowers at a ghost bike that has been erected for 15 year-old Austin Miller.
A commenter named KTesh left this poem for Austin:
I stood there
alone
in the rain
staring at the sad image
of a bicycle
that marked the tragic end
of a life too short
alone
in the rain
staring at the sad image
of a bicycle
that marked the tragic end
of a life too short
Anger
frustration
and fear
that someday
one might mark
where I fell
frustration
and fear
that someday
one might mark
where I fell
I cannot stop riding
but I feel the loss
of all those who
were cut down
and pray that
someday
somehow
the slaughter
will end
but I feel the loss
of all those who
were cut down
and pray that
someday
somehow
the slaughter
will end
For Austin
