Ten Ghost Bike znajduje się na wjeździe do Puszczy Zielonki, wzdłuż Cysterskiego Szlaku Rowerowego. Upamiętnia on postać Ryszarda Walerycha. Był on jednym z najbardziej rozpoznawalnych turystów rowerowych w Poznaniu. Zginął w 2011, na ul. Gdyńskiej, wracając z pracy, potrącony przez pijaną 25-latkę. Rok po wydarzeniu szlak rowerowy R-1 biegnący przez Puszczę Zielonkę, którą Ryszard uwielbiał, został nazwany jego imieniem. W 2014 roku w Puszczy stanął ten biały rower, który ma go upamiętniać.

He was one of the most recognizable bicycle tourists in Poznan. He died in 2011, on Gdyńska Street, while returning from work, hit by a drunk 25-year-old woman. A year after the incident, the R-1 bike trail running through the Zielonka Forest, which Richard loved, was named after him. In 2014, this white bicycle stood in the Forest to commemorate him.
