As sad and as predictable as bikedc can imagine
near the Smithsonian Castle. You are right. It was a memorial to a friend of mine who was killed by a car while riding her bike home from work that December in 1993.
I designed the plaque — the “wheel” is a Buddhist Dharmachakra or Wheel of Law whose eight spokes represent the Buddhist eight-fold path . More than you wanted to know! I designed the plaque but the woman who killed my friend had it fabricated and affixed to the wooden base and a friend of mine helped get permission from DC to have it installed.
Susan Carter worked at the Department of Energy as a computer programmer and lived in the 2400 block of 20th St. NW in DC and was an avid biker, although more of a pleasure biker than a racer . The plaque was still there a year or so ago but had slipped to the base of the pole. The wood was more weathered and cracked than in your picture. But it was still there.”
