Practically the first thing I did this morning was read this and it upset me. I almost lost a friend who was taken out by a big side mirror of an irresponsible driver. He survived but never rode again. The people that call in and rant like neanderthals deserve no vioce but get it sometimes. Then the media takes a side, newspaper included. Now it is time to raise the bull@#$t filters.

I ended up emailing the General Manager of the station to get his attantion on this. According to him he is a cyclist himself and tryed to promote a good and safe dialog this morininig on his station. The simple fact that he took the time to write me back and explain his side tells me a lot about him. It is likely that this thing did get a little carried away on air, but then so did the reaction to the whole episode.

Just my 2 cents.

Be careful out there.
