Houston Ghost Bike remembers unicyclist

Posted on by

“A man who was known in the Houston area as the ‘naked unicyclist’ for his past nude unicycling exploits was struck and killed late one night in early August while riding down a dark La Porte road. His death didn’t go unnoticed as a memorial has sprung up in his honor near where he fell.

Joseph Glynn Farley, 48, was a fixture in the Houston-area cycling community, routinely participating in rides with Houston’s Critical Mass group and known by locals for his daring unicycle riding among bicycles and cars…

Richard Tomlinson is a member of the city’s cycling community and he’s a big part of the Houston Ghost Bike group which places white “ghost bikes” near the locations of fatal cycling incidents to increase awareness of cycling safety.

He’s part of an international effort complete with a website that lists where almost every ghost bike sits. The Houston Ghost Bike Facebook group has the sad task of keeping track of local cyclist fatalities. Each donated bike is stripped of its chain and gears, things that could get pulled off by people passing by and each gets a few coats of white spray paint…

Although Farley was fully-clothed and following the law by wearing the safety vest and having lights on his unicycle, accident reconstructionists believe he might not have been visible to other motorists due to lights from nearby businesses and street lights at Spencer Highway about half a mile ahead, Sgt. John Kreuger of the La Porte Police Department said after the accident.”

There are many different causes of bicycle accidents. It has been determined that most bicycle accidents that result in a serious injury happen when a motor vehicle driver is not paying attention to the area surrounding their vehicle. If the operator of a car, van, truck, bus or other motor vehicle comes into contact with a bicycle causing serious personal injury the driver may be held responsible.
