Angel Bike installed at site of deadly accident

Members of the Eagle Rock Cycling club installed an “Angel Bike” at the site of a deadly accident that claimed the life of a Virgina bicyclist. Anne Davis,22, was part of a touring group called “Bike and Build” when her bike was struck from behind while riding on US Highway 26, east of Idaho Falls.

With the permission of the landowner, the white bike was donated and prepared by Brian Hobbs. Other cyclists mixed cement and placed the bike, including flowers. The bike is inscribed with the names of the members of her cycling team.

Club members hope it will be a memorial to Anne, and a reminder to motorists to be aware of bicycles on roadways.

The group also plans to work with legislators on improvements to laws that might make roadways safer for cyclists.

A second cyclist, Laura Stark, 25, was also injured in the accident. She is still listed in critical condition at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.
