Ghost Bike for Christopher Greathouse
Ghost Bike for Christopher Greathouse, age 12, will be placed on November 10th at 4:00PM.
Original post said Sunday. Acutally, the Ghost Bike will be placed on Saturday, November 10. 4:00PM
He was killed on June 15th, 2018 while bicycling with his brother, Stanley. The crash happened at Moon Street and Los Arboles Avenue, just south of Candelaria in the North East Heights.
Duke City Wheelmen will help the family place a ghost bike made by Christopher’s brothers Stanley and Anthony. A metal plaque will be placed that has Christopher’s picture.
The family has stated that all are welcome at the ceremony where they will place the Ghost Bike at the scene of the crash and honor Christopher’s life. Ghost Bikes are bicycles painted white, placed where a cyclist has died. All too often, the cause of the death is a crash with a motor vehicle. The serve to remind us of the importance of driving attentively, the value of human life and the joy that riding a bicycle can bring to young and old alike
Join us for this Ghost Bike placement

Tragic need for a new ghost bike
All,
Duke City Wheelmen is working with several neighbors and the family to decide about placing a ghost bike in the Moon and Candelaria NE area to remember the 11 year old who was hit and killed near there last week.
If you would like to help, you can use the contact form here on our webpage. I will post updates about this situation as they become available.
Please ride aware and stay safe.

Dia de los Muertos: Ofrenda & Despedida
The National Hispanic Cultural Center is hosting an Ofrenda exhibition again during this time leading up to the Dia de los Muertos Despedida on November 3, 2017.
Most Ofrendas at NHCC are created by school children from across the City.
Duke City Wheelmen is proud to be included in this tradition. We have created Ofrendas since 2010, initially with the help of Jacobo de la Serna.
This year’s Ofrenda was the result of the work of Steve Mathias, Dave Hamilton, Carolyn Donnelly and Jennifer Buntz.
Go by National Hispanic Cultural Center and see all the Ofrendas 
October 16 – November 10; 10 am to 5 pm
Visit NHCC November 2 @5:30pm to make your own Ofrenda related art
Participate in the Despedida, Dia de los Muertos Celebration, November 3; 5-7PM
