Description

Hi there! Feel free to drop us a text if you enjoy the episode. What does a white bicycle standing beside the road represent, and can it help prevent another tragedy? We talk with Peter Cheung, founder of Ghost Bikes Boston, and Executive Videographer & Cycling Ambassador at Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers.  Peter  has installed nearly 40 memorial bicycles across Greater Boston. Peter explains how each ghost bike is created, how he works with victims’ families, and why these memorials are also powerful calls for safer streets. We also explore Peter’s work as a cycling advocate, filmmaker, and community builder—from the Boston Bike Party and Midnight Marathon Ride to Brothers on Bikes and the Ride for Black Lives. Peter shares practical lessons for riding safely in the city, his vision for a connected bicycle network, and why he remains optimistic about Boston’s cycling future. It’s a moving conversation about loss, advocacy, community...and keeping the joy in cycling.
