Ghost bike at 38 Street and 28A Avenue to honour Alfred Reisdorf, an avid cyclist who was hit and killed in November 2025. (Leo Cruzat, CityNews)<\/p>\nFamily members and riders from the Edmonton bike community installed a bicycle painted all in white in southeast Edmonton to remember a 65-year-old cyclist who died after being struck by an SUV in November last year.<\/p>\n
Cyclists pulled the ghost bike to 38 Street and 28A Avenue on Thursday as a way to honour Alfred Reisdorf, an avid cyclist who was hit and killed in November.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery morning I get up and for a moment. I think maybe I will hear him, I will see him until reality hits me that he is not coming back, and it is so difficult. It is a struggle,\u201d said Zeenat Damani, Reisdorf\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n

His wife laid flowers at the memorial, saying she is still recovering from the loss of her husband.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is so hard. I just visited my husband\u2019s grave, and I never thought that I would see him. I will visit his grave. That was the hardest part,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
Bike Edmonton says the driver of the Hyundai Tucson was charged with careless driving, but hopes that the ghost bike reminds drivers to pay attention.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think for a lot of people it\u2019s a time for a little bit of sombre reflection for like people who are responsible for like the design of our roads and for funding them,\u201d said Keith Heslinga, the president of Bike Edmonton.<\/p>\n
Last year, Edmonton recorded 32 fatalities on city streets, making it the deadliest year in over a decade.<\/p>\n

So far in 2026, police have recorded 11 traffic fatalities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe goal is that I would like this to be the last one I go to; like that would be really nice,\u201d said Heslinga.<\/p>\n
As for Damani, she hopes that the memorial will remind drivers to slow down, and she\u2019s thankful for the support from the biking community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis gives me pleasure that there is a memorial where people will see, and maybe I will be able to save somebody from going through the horrible pain which I am going through,\u201d said Damani.<\/p>\n
