Bike to Heaven, Street memorial in Holešovice district, Prague, Czech Republic.

Bike to Heaven is a memorial formed by a functional 14-meter street lamp with four spotlights, on whose column a metal bicycle is mounted at a height of 11 meters, pointing skyward. The entire structure is covered in palladium leaf, giving it a silver sheen, and both the top of the lamp and the bicycle rotate in the wind.

Jan Bouchal co-founded the Auto*Mat association and directed the Oživení association; on 6 January 2006 he was struck by a car at this intersection and fatally injured. The memorial was initiated by Auto*Mat, funded by a public collection that raised 270,000 crowns, and unveiled on 9 September 2013 after seven years of preparation. The intersection was rebuilt in February and March 2012 with bicycle traffic lights.

The memorial grew out of the "ghost bike" tradition, in which a white bicycle is tied to the spot of a fatal cycling accident; a white bike appeared here in the years after 2006. The final work was initiated by the cycling association Auto*Mat and paid for by a public collection that raised 270,000 crowns, without money from the city or state.

The memorial sits at an intersection in Holešovice and is easily reached by tram lines 5, 6, 8, 17, or 26 stopping at Nábřeží Kapitána Jaroše station. The structure is visible from all directions and can be viewed at any time, though daylight hours show the reflective wheel best.

The whole 14-metre lamp post, not just the bicycle, is covered in palladium leaf, a goldsmithing method chosen because palladium, unlike silver, does not darken over time. The memorial cost over a million crowns and was funded entirely by a public collection and donors, with no money from the city or state.
