SFGate stirs the pot with "Hayward cyclist"
[Also Posted to ebbc-talk and sfbike]
=v= I'd say this is a new low. The _San_Francisco_Chronicle_ milked an extremely rare bike/ped death for six weeks. Long after they'd run out of facts, they published speculations, but eventually they ran out of stuff to make people angry about bicyclists. =v= Here's what they ran yesterday: Hayward cyclist hits, kills pedestrian: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/articl...edestrian-394\ 7749.php If you follow the link, the story is about a MOTORcyclist. Never before in my life have I seen "cyclist" to mean somebody on a motorcycle. (I've certainly seen "biker" for bicyclist, but that's entirely different.) _Jym_ |

Unfortunately that seems to be the motto of not only the Chronicle but a sizable number of the other local news outlets. And nothing seems to aggravate readers (outside of politics) more then an article about "bad" bicycle riders. I see the same mentality over here in the East Bay with the Contra Costa Times. We appear to threaten a few but very vocal cagers for some reason. -- __ (oO) www.cosmoslair.com /||\ Cthulhu Saves!!! (In case he needs a midnight snack) |
