so i found this today!


On the item that Detroit radio station WCSX had an anti-bike segment on one
of their shows, it is true. It was on the morning of August 5 on the
Deminski and Doyle "show". My favorite is how they are encouraging people to
"Lob something at their (bicyclists) heads".

The "show" can be downloaded at
http://greatermedia.cachefly.net/WCSX/DD/2009_08bicycliststhrowat.mp3. You
can also go to the WCSX webpage and try the podcast link at
http://dd.wcsx.com/?feed=podcast and look for the bicyclists item.

FYI - I am forwarding this to the League of Michigan Bicyclists and League
of American Bicyclists.

PS - If you want to email WCSX management, use theboss@wcsx. If you want to
call them, try 248-398-9470.

To copy in their radio chain top management, email i...@greatermedia.com.
WCSX likes for people think they are a local "family" station, but they part
of a chain owned by Greater Media Inc. out of Massachusetts. The corporate
number is 781-348-8600.

I actually had stuff thrown at me yesterday while riding around in Brooklyn. Not lobbed. Thrown. A couple apples whizzed past my head so I just got the hell out of there.

As a cyclists who was hit and put into a coma by a pickup truck, I'm absolutely disgusted with the podcast!

Road rage against cyclists cannot be justified!

here in colorado the legislature actually had to pass a law making such blatant disregard for others saftey an illegal activity.

while i applaude this action, what i find disturbing is the fact it has to be a law to make something so obviously harmful to another human being. WTF are turning into?

I just commented on the site, I'm hoping I get some feed back.

P.S. I just ordered the "your SUV makes you look fat" sticker. Can't wait to rep that.

Some F*wad DJs in the Bay area did a similar segment encouraging drivers to open their doors and hit motorcycles. I don't understand these people.
