Friends decorate a ghost bike in honor of Pitt staff member Susan Hicks (inset), who was killed a year ago when a car struck her on Forbes Avenue near Bellefield while she was riding her bicycle home from the Oakland campus. She was remembered Oct. 21 with a memorial event and bike ride.

Hicks, 34, was the assistant director for academic affairs in the University Center for International Studies’ Center for Russian and East European Studies.
