A "Ghost Bike" for James

I was not able to attend the ride and “ghost bike” dedication for James on Friday night...but the following day, Michele and I went to Queens Boulevard and 69th St. to pay our respects at his ghost bike.

By coincidence, we met a man who was there at the time of the accident. He is a laborer who lines up each day on the opposite corner, looking for work.

I asked him about the evening James was killed and he said, simply: “It was too much to see. Too much.”
