Procrastinating Pedaler club member Don Campbell was killed while riding his bike through the intersection of Sparks Blvd and Los Altos Pkwy. Don was killed by a motorist, in this case driving a Q&D construction truck, on July 16, 2007, almost exactly one year after David Pumphrey was killed by a hit-and-run motorist on Double R Boulevard.
A Ghost Bike was placed at the intersection of Sparks Blvd. & Los Altos Parkway at about 9:00am on August 12, 2007, following a ride through Reno with 4 starting points. Organizers said the purpose of the ride was not just to honor their fallen friend but also to raise awareness of bicyclists' right to share the roads with motorists and to heighten bicyclists' awareness of their need to ride defensively.
