I don't read bike rumor and sorry, I rarely go to A&S. A friend on my board told me about it but then again, it really doesn't matter anyway where or when or by who it was posted "first", I'm not looking for credit. This is just f*cked up is all.

Eh, it's a case of internet tough guy meets behind the wheel tough guy. I wouldn't get too worked up over it.

Well, at least most of these cagers that are advocating bike hate will probably die of some health problem earlier than the rest of us

I notice a lot of the people who comment stuff like "run them over.. they don't deserve to live" and crap like that are women. Hmm.

F*ck 'em. The main complaint (oddly) seems to be that cyclists don't pay taxes for road use. How many effing people use government services without paying a dime of taxes AT ALL (and then get a tax "refund")? Do we run all them over too?

I normally don't get into Critical Mass' thing...but if this is a prevailing attitude I see where they're coming from.

Hey, peeps -- read a little closer -- most of the haters on the FB page are Aussie!

There's plenty of indication out there that the Aussie drivers hate on cyclists about 5x more than they do here.

Besides, at FB, you have to check your gonads at the door....

I hate to say it but +1 to this.

But it looks like it is worldwide and 31k people is not that many. More than 31k cyclists in a 20 block section of Beijing.

It is sad but, save the harping at each other and just contact FB and report the site. These people don't need an easy way to encourage each other.

I don't know, khan... I think the page can be useful. It's like a database of 31,000+ a**holes!
