Jen Shao was struck by a charter bus while attempting to turn from Governeur Lane onto Water St., a busy two-way street with no bike lane. The driver never stopped; police are classifying this as a hit-and-run, a potential felony. Her ghost bike joined a collection of flowers and candles laid out along with photographs and notes from neighbors and friends.

Ms. Shao’s ghost bike was removed the next day — we assume by local property owners.
