cycling
at the break of dawn
beware of the traffic
cycling through the viaduct
competing for space
a cyclist lost the race
~~~
loss of a cyclist
a sister mourns her sister
a mother mourns her daughter
a city of cyclists and citizens
form a vigil for Mathilde Blais
a ghost bike hung in memory

A great cherita, Tournesol —
And what a haunting memorial. 😥

It is actually very touching that she is remembered and the city did not take down the ghost bike
