Brooklyn, NY 11205
United States of America
Ever since "ghost bikes" started appearing in Brooklyn, they've become more and more visible throughout the borough. Unfortunately, another ghost bike has materialized in Clinton Hill. Now two ghost bikes visibly remind onlookers of unnecessary death, one near the corner of Washington and Greene Avenues and the newest apparition near the corner of Atlantic and Washington Avenues.

Not only did both deaths occur on Washington Avenue, but almost exactly a year apart; Julian Miller lost his life last year on September 18, 2009 and Jasmine Herron lost her life on September 11, 2010.
