Ghost Bikes

I have a great deal of compassion for anyone who has lost a loved one.  I am concerned that the ghost bike memorials being placed in Lee County will ultimately end up in the back of a truck headed for a scrap metal yard. As disrespectful as that might seem, it is a fact in  this economy. If the bikers want to make a statement or memorialize those who have passed away on Lee County roads why not place a wall near a linear park?  Or create a memorial wall or park somewhere in Lee County.  I understand the psychological impact of placing the bikes at the exact spot where a biker has died. The message they are trying to impart will be very short lived. All it takes is one person who values money not morals.
