This “ghost bike” honoring Aleksander Teimouri, who was killed by a suspected drunken driver on Dec. 26, 2018, went missing recently. The bike had been attached to a light post at Haine School and Rochester roads in Cranberry Township near the spot where Teimouri, 22, was struck as he was riding his bicycle home from work.

CRANBERRY TWP — It took more than a week, but a tribute to a fallen bicyclist has been found.

The tribute — a “ghost bike,” or an inoperable bicycle painted white honoring Alek Teimouri — went missing July 19 from its spot on the northwest corner of the Haine School and Rochester road intersection. The 22-year-old man died in December when he was hit by an alleged drunken driver.
