killing cyclists is fun

a local radio morning show in Atlanta (of all places this week) has jumped
on the "telling listeners to run cyclists off the road" bandwagon this
morning. Pretty much more of the same type discussion that went on with the
clear channel jocks in the recent past. If anyone is up for emailing those
in charge to voice their opinions contact info for the station can be found
at http://www.99x.com/ thanks

Can you provide a link to a credible source that cites exactly what thi
DJ said, and when

It'd be pretty silly for people to just start e-mailing this statio
when they don't have any facts...

Thx

Only if the DJ said "****ing" cyclists.

I used to listen to the "Morning X" show all the time when I lived in
atl, it was the only morning show I've ever really liked (unless you
count npr). From looking at their site it seems like they jumped on the
howard stern/bob & tom bandwagon. Sad really, radio has gotten
unbelievably cookie cutter.

Blame the concentration of ownership and the imperative to rationalize
costs and profits across a large corporation. Risk is bad, profit is
good--and high-quality things are often also high-risk.

Oh well. OT as hell.

Don't most cyclists engage in sexual intercourse from time to time? I don't
know of any that have taken a vow of celibacy.

I dunno. Was Gino Bartali as pious as they said he was?

The great Sean Kelly supposedly avoided sexual
contact prior to major races. I think he had it
backwards.
