Nap Cantwell would have been 19 today. Flowers and two ghost bikes now adorn the intersection where he crashed into the side of a van May 29. He died one week later.
Condolences to his friends and family.
Happy Birthday, Nap

I wanted to reach out to the bicycle community and let them know about a kickstarter that I am launching to fund a month long road trip to finish the shooting for my ghost bike project.

Check out the project here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1004330446/the-ghost-bike-project
