WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) — After Gary Rounds of Wenatchee was fatally injured in a bicycle accident last year, his friends remembered him by decorating his bike as a ghost bike.

The Wenatchee World reports they painted it white and decorated it with feathers and flowers.

They left it at the site of his fatal accident, on a trail in East Wenatchee. His family and friends maintain it, and it remains there today.
