I just caught this report from local television station CBS 2 about a memorial installed in honor of Jesus Castillo, who was murdered by a drunk driver a few days ago in Echo Park.
The report on CBS 2's web-site stated the following:
"Ghost Bike" Memorializes Slain Cyclist
April 25, 2009, 8:12 a.m. PT
More than 200 cyclists paid tribute to Jesus Castillo in Echo Park Friday after he was killed by a drunk driver earlier this week. Pal Magers reports.
You can see the original report by visiting CBS 2's web-site.
I've been going downtown for a few years now, along with others, to fight for safer streets. We've gotten in the door, and politicians have said they agree with us, but nothing has really changed to make our streets safer. I hope that the cycling community is able to step it up a notch and win some serious pro-bike victories this year that will have real, on-the-ground, effects that make cycling safer.
