That's a big assumption, Ron. I would vote for Meth addicts looking for
scrap metal,
not bike hating "wackos"...

Hopefully a movement towards a permanent mural is still being
considered by the artist..

Jonthan Maus would be a good person to contact about it...most white
bikes I've seen
are still standing after several years.

This does not surprise me. Even though the coverage (I usually watch
ch. 8)
has been pretty even on the last couple of bike accidents, it just
makes the
"wackos" that hate bike riders no matter what... react in any manner in

which they feel control. I just hope the person (s) defiling the
memorial
leave it at that and keep good distances from all of us out on the
streets.
Be careful and courteous. Time will let their hate destroy them.
