Bike hate group on FaceBook
Maybe this is old news but I found a bike hate group on FaceBook at:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Theres...0667052?ref=mf
The name of the group is "There's a perfectly good path right next to the road you stupid cyclist!". I have complained to FaceBook and expect no help there. Their moto is:
"No matter how far to the left you are, you're taking up my road.
My car is hard, and i am not slowing down!"
"There's a perfectly good path right next to the road you stupid cyclist!'s Photos - Cars are hard, cyclists are not"
There are reportedly instances of advocating explicit harm to cyclist but I have not chased anything down.
Any suggestions on if/how this might be pursed through the advocay community to pressure FaceBook to not allow a "hate group"? I'm not one to get upset about this sort of thing but this chaps me.

Sorry about that. Didn't see the other thread.
