A memorial at 12th and Grand?

Actually, I just looked it up on the sobering KCBike Crash map, it's apparently a memorial to John Triggs. Odd, because I've used the bus stop right next to this memorial before, but have never seen it.

As some of you know, I officially started a new job yesterday, even though it's just a higher-paying, permanent position doing what I've been doing for the past six months. Well, I went to this particular bus stop, because my wife started her new job today as well. I am going to drop by JCCC to go see her for a while, then I'll probably ride down to Daily Dose to geek out on my Mac some more, and get some soul-soothing coffee since my wife is on the clock until 10 tonight.

Anyhow, seeing that old bike made me kind of sad, I had to take a picture. I'm not one to cry, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't welling up a bit while posting this. John, you will not be forgotten.
