Cyclists Hit by Accidently Truck Outside Las Vegas Memorialized With ‘Ghost Bikes’

It’s a striking memorial: five white bikes stacked on top of each other in tribute to five dead cyclists. Fellow bikers leave flowers at the “ghost bikes” for the victims of the horrible tragedy that happened on a highway outside Las Vegas. The riders were avid cyclists who were participating in a long distance ride called the Nipton Loop, which goes from Las Vegas, into California and back, when they were accidentally struck from behind by a box truck.
