not the clockwork?

As a metal sculptor, if I may suggest, Wind chimes. Cut out the main tube lengths, TT, DT, ST, SS, CS. Clean them up and touch up the paint on the cut ends. Drill a sm hole through both sides of one end, a cm in or so. Feed through an old shift cable and crimp to make a loop. Before crimping closed, loop through a chain ring so each section has a tube hanging in it. Hang this assembly with a crimped loop of brake cable from a branch at the spot on the trail where the incident happened or on your most ridden trail. Nice little memorial. Maybe a little sheet metal plaque hanging down from the middle as a wind catcher with the Frame serial #, date of birth, date of death, and "Survived by *Your name* "
I think it be an awesome public art project if more people did these on their local trails. Cheap and easy.
