Dear Jeff:

On Monday, August XXVIIth, University Of Alberta student, Isaak Kornelson (who majored in arts) died when he lost control of his bicycle & slid under the back wheels of a cement truck, crushing him. This occurred on Whyte Avenue, so you can imagine not only the grief Isaak went through, but the grief his family/friends/fellow students, as well as the truck driver are going through. Lets hope bike lanes are placed/configured in Isaak's name II try & prevent future students who cycle & cyclists in general from being hurt &/or killed!

Ghost Bike,

Rory
