Eve
Eve
Wednesday, December 13, 2006
Location:
65th Street Traverse Road
New York
United States
After being hit by a car and damaged, this ghost bike was replaced in March 2011 by cyclists who didn't know Eve but wanted to continue her memory.
On December 13th at 6:30pm, while passing some barriers which narrowed this two way street which cuts through the park, Eve was sideswiped and hit hard by a car's sideview mirror. The impact sent her over the handlebars and she sustained fatal injuries.
Eve was a life-long bicycle commmuter who was crossing the 65th st Central Park Transverse on her way home.
Her niece told us that she was taken off life support after her wish to donate her organs was fufilled. We respect her request that her aunt remain anonymous and ageless.
No charges were filed against the driver.
There is still no safe or legal way to travel by bicycle crosstown across Central Park.
In March 2011, just before the 6th Annual Memorial Ride & Walk, two cyclists re-installed Eve's memorial as "a continuation of the memory of "Eve'" and the "effort to remember her." The new memorial is visible in the last image in the above slide show.
