Flag down this facebook group!!!
 
I just noticed this group on facebook. Anyone on here that has a facebook account should log in and flag it down, so it gets removed.


It's called biker haters

for those of you without a facebook, theres a screenshot of the group page here

maybe it will posses you to make a facebook account just to flag it down.....

sunv 04-10-07 10:18 PM

lol there's only 4 members.
and im sure there are larger, worse bike hating groups out there.

fixedgnar 04-10-07 10:22 PM

well it looks like it just started. even if its harmless why not take 2 seconds to flag it down?

Fugazi Dave 04-10-07 10:23 PM

There are way more than just one of these groups...

EDIT: FWIW, though, I did report the group.

From the group's page:

Everyone who can't stand all of the stupid bikers who think that the road is theres to ride on!!!
Someone should tell them that there is the ****ing sidewalk they are suppose to ride on!!!!
But... if you hit one you get 20 points!
Censorship is isn't cool (generally speaking). But, advocating ignorance*, breaking the law**, and violence*** is even less cool.


* The road IS where we are supposed to ride.
** Riding on the sidewalk is illegal
*** Assult & Battery (not to mention manslaughter)


I flagged the group, too.

soyboy 04-10-07 10:51 PM

Haha :D

It's a powerbook, and it's now on the charger.

I'll flag it just for the heck of it... but honestly don't see the point. Half of facebook groups are "I hate this..", "I hate that...", "so and so should be killed".. bla bla.

I am reporting "skankalina" for making this post in the group...
"We got us our first *******, ****** bycycle rider. He (Josh) wrote an email posting some stupid article about the rights of bikers, crying and acting like a real *****.

In conclusion, if you see this ass on the road run him down, boys."

yeah i sent her (the creator of the group) a message with the chapter of the MN statute concerning bikes. she proceeded to use my profile pic for a picture of the group. which i honestly think is quite flattering. haha.

This bike hate is pretty common on college campuses. If you don't ride bikes, you ***** about them (at least at my school)

Just the other day, I passed a friend on my bike, and later she said to me "you know, you're one of the zippy bike people I hate" WTF?

Most of these people legitimately think that we don't have a right to the road. Yet they ***** about us on the sidewalks.

bonechilling 04-10-07 11:11 PM

I'm embarrassed to say that I opened up all these links, even
though I don't use Facebook. My favorite is definitely #5, which
shows a biker using the designated bike lane with a "buster" or
bar indicating that apparently this is NOT the appropriate use for
a bike lane.

Also, it's stuff like this that reminds me to take the full lane, and
send the thumbs-down to anyone who disapproves.

cc700 04-10-07 11:13 PM

or the woman walking her dog in the street(no crosswalk) in the same picture as the bike rider

apeter 04-10-07 11:36 PM

well someone's mother didn't love them...


seaneee 04-10-07 11:37 PM

hold on while I get my pitchfork and round up the neighbors

goldenskeletons 04-11-07 12:02 AM

man, just imagine how many people would start ****ty online community pages dedicated to keeping cyclists off the sidewalk if we weren't in the road. some people have sticks up their asses and don't know how to ride bikes. also, if you make lance armstrong associations every time you see a bike, i'm pretty sure no one listens to you anyway, cyclist or not.

don't let some county hicks rile you up ever again. come on. like you couldn't come up with something clever to come back at them with. oh whatever, i had a good laugh. thanks for posting :)

Wikipedia:
Censorship is the removal or withholding of information from the public by a controlling group or body. Typically censorship is done by governments, religious groups, or the mass media, although other forms of censorship exist.

This isn't censorship.

cc700 04-11-07 12:28 AM

this is censorship in the way that an associate's degree is college.


you have to warp some definitions so broadly that it makes you look like a doof to call it such.

Dude!!!! You're in Columbia! Who are you? I'm the guy on the red track bike with flat bars, often seen over at Klunk, I hang out with Justin Craig, etc. Small enough town....I've probably seen you around. PM me.
