Friends and coworkers of Jason Baines, who was killed while riding his bicycle across Midland Avenue in October, installed a ghost bike in his memory. The small group chained the stark-white bike to a light pole at the corner of Midland and Short Street, where the wreck occurred.
A ghost bike is a roadside memorial that riders build and place at the spot where a fellow cyclist has been killed or severely injured. The practice is common in some areas, but Baines' memorial is thought to be only the second ghost bike in Lexington.
