A clever solution to BCC’s cowardice
BCC has been repeatedly removing ghost bikes from a site on Nudgee Rd after a cyclist died at the location last year, despite years of warning from cycling advocates that improved infrastructure was needed in the area. To stop them from removing the ghost bikes, highlighting the blood on BCC’s hands, *and* highlighting the absurdity of how storing private property on public land is completely ok if it’s a car, someone installed this ghost trailer.

I had heard about the ghost bikes being repeatedly removed, but I rarely travel Nudgee Rd myself. Happened to drive down it last night and spotted this ingenuous solution to the problem. Had to stop and capture it.
edit: hmm, looks like Lemmy can’t show images attached to replies. Shouldn’t be too much of a surprise I guess. See it in reply.
@brisbane
Is it parked in a parking bay or on a cycle lane? It’s hard to tell from the angle.
OP’s reply, for those who can’t see it:
@jonne yeah fair question. It’s the road shoulder. See my reply to @_cnt0 for more details
