The ghost bike and the wellie ...

Min Joo Lee was a 24-year old fashion student from Korea. She was killed whilst riding her bike across a junction near to King's Cross Station. A bicycle completely painted white and covered in flowers (A 'ghost bike') now commemorates her death.

A ghost bike or ghostcycle is a bicycle set up as a roadside memorial in a place where a cyclist has been killed or severely injured (usually by a motor vehicle). Apart from being a memorial, it is usually intended as a reminder to passing motorists to share the road. Ghost bikes are usually junk bicycles painted white, sometimes with a placard attached, and locked to a suitable object close to the scene of the accident.

Update - Works have now been completed to 'redesign' the road junction near to King's Cross Station where Min Joo Lee was killed.
