FOUNDATION PURPOSE
The Sylvia Bingham Foundation will help Americans demand the ability to walk or cycle safely to work, school, church or shops. The Foundation will promote safety for cyclists and pedestrians by educating drivers about sharing the road with cyclists and pedestrians and educating cyclists on defensive personal safety techniques. The Foundation will also work with others to encourage state and federal transportation agencies, city and county planners, legislators and policy makers to provide for cyclist safe zones and other engineering controls in areas of high traffic to reduce the risk of injury. 
THE GHOST BIKE
The Ohio City Bike Co-Op has placed a Ghost Bike on the corner of the tragic accident. You can participate by locating an area where an actual bicycle accident took place or is likely to happen. Paint an old, worn-out bicycle entirely gloss white. Add a placard with the information of the accident and lock it to a suitable object near the scene of the accident, preferably with the approval of local authorities. Please do not position the ghost bike in a way that increases the risk of future accidents. The ghost bike idea seems to have originated with a project by San Francisco artist Jo Slota.Ghost Bike Wiki >>
