there is a report button if you are so inclined.

thanks. they have over 31000 fans! I reported it.

I reported it while TE was down.

Report it as a hate group.

I think the best thing to do when reporting it besides the "radio button" choices there's an option below to say why you're flagging it.

Writing a note gets an automated response that they'll "look into it and might get back to you."

Just hitting the button does not. Tag this site as offensive and say why!

Done and done.

Thee agenda of this group is to incite (or at least motivate) violence towards cyclists.

No good can come of this.

I reported it with a comment. Truthfully, that frightens me. Like you said, szsz- the agenda is to incite violence and that's just terrifying...

I'm disgusted that there are so many people in the world with such backwards thinking. I reported the site and then read some of the individual posts. I reported some of the individuals that say they will run us over if they have the opportunity. This is ludicrous!! If you say you are going to kill someone simply because you disagree with something they say or do you have serious issues.

As if I don't have enough worries in my life.....now this! I just want to ride and enjoy my time here on earth. Is that too much to ask for??

Here's a suggestion from my DH. Besides complaining about people running their mouths on Facebook, if you're not already a member of LAB and/or your local/national cycling advocacy organization, JOIN! I just did.

Oak, that's a great idea! I reported the 'page'. It's amazing to me that people hate an entire category of people...

Considering the history of humanity, this is amazing? Reprehensible, yes. Amazing... sadly, no.

BleeckerSt_Girl: The few photos I saw on the page appeared to be of large men and pickup trucks. I hate to stereotype because that leads to the sort of behavior Ginny refers to, but it's possible that the "semi-literate" part might still apply.

While I certainly don't like comments of the run-them-over type, I try to let them just pass as expressions of annoyance and nothing more. We've all fantasised at some point about doing something mean or vicious (surely it's not only me... ) to people we really dislike or in situations that we hate. And when talking with people who agree with us it's not that unusual to voice those fantasies either.

I did get pretty scared though when I read a blog with a girl bragging about how she had intentionally run into a cyclist a while ago, to teach him a lesson. There are a few people who will purposely endanger cyclists, but I'm pretty sure not by far as many as those who want to talk about doing so.

Those of you that do facebook might consider becoming a fan of the Share the Road page

Nah, it's just all the beef hormones and cigarettes that made them bigger and older looking than normal teens.

I reported them.
