Advocacy & Safety - One of my Facebook friends really hates cyclists

265441

I hope to never see him when I'm out riding my bike. I could just imagine the irony if Jeffery hits a cyclist with his car and then ends up riding a bike to work because he loses his license.

There are some very unhealthy attitudes espoused there. I'd unfriend that idiot quickly.

Just remember, you share the road with this type of people. Fortunately they are the minority. Unfortunately it only takes one to ruin you day or entire life.

I'd unfriend that idiot quickly.No, keep copying their stupid comments and when they finally hit a cyclist, forward the rants to the police and injured cyclist.

I thought it interesting that you didn't block the one jerks name and picture. Almost makes me want to spam him with pro cycling literature.

its funny cause i always tought the car drivers were the dangerous people , missing stop signs /pushing you off the road /turning without looking/ parked cars opening doors without looking / aggressive fly-by
idk... i think to much of theme think they have all the rights and that cyclists don't have any

Apparently your friend is a badd-ass... when hiding behind a keyboard.. You might let them know that threatening to harm someone in this day and age can get them legal attention they may not exactly want.. and that rant in court could mean the difference between it being an accident and it being premeditated..

and if they are not that good a friend.. let them know they are a **** and unfriend them.. ;-)

Heh. Your friend's buddy Jeffrey looks like a total ******bag.

Yeah right? In his profile photo he looks like the picture of heath too.

Do you know this guy well? Do you think he really means the garbage that he posts? A lot of us say stupid stuff about a group but don't allow the motivating thoughts to encroach on reality. I have seen many people say stuff just to fit in or precipitate a reaction.

This is no defense of the jerk, though, because I think he has showed his poor character by posting drivel. I would not un-friend him - you need to watch him.

Good 'ol Facebook, a great vehicle for informing the masses with TMI. I was able to have some thrust upon me at a social outing just last night.

Agreed. Trolling for response. It's so much fun to show people how witty one can be behind the keyboard. I think it's probably unwise to post such drivel under your real name.

These guys are tools.

Some of my closest friends dont have much use for cyclist either. I am 73 and retired, and ride about 2500 miles each year. These friends golf-------by riding carts, and as a result get very little exercise. Of course there are great differences in peoples health, but I am in far better shape than any of them. Besides genes, I contribute this to the fact that I bike a lot.

It would seem that these friends could see what cycling has done for my health, but they dont. And as I say they really dont like cyclist on "their" roads.

You don't lose your license for hitting a cyclist. He would have to be drunk or leave the scene, something like that.

Think of a good comment to counter their hate of bicycles.
