This poor bike is locked to an iron railing, and perhaps because it couldn't be stolen, some vandals smashed it so now it has two tacoed wheels.

A bike going nowhere!

Oh dear, Arn, that looks like a Ghost Bike. From Wikipedia :

A ghost bike or ghostcycle is a bicycle set up as a roadside memorial in a place where a cyclist has been killed or severely injured (usually by a motor vehicle)[1][2] Apart from being a memorial, it is usually intended as a reminder to passing motorists to share the road. Ghost bikes are usually junk bicycles painted white, sometimes with a placard attached, and locked to a suitable object close to the scene of the accident.

Wow, unknown to me as well. Thanks for this, Tamia. Now I'll have to go back and check if there's a plaque, or any info.

Come to think of it, I need to check on a few myself.
