Bicycle Hater page on facebook...

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

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.

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

While I passionately disagree with the overall opinion of that group, I have also learned that even idiots and complete morons are entitled to their completely assinine opinion(s).

I agree that good old boy ***-a-holes are welcome to express their opinion in this here U S of A--god bless the first amendment!--but I take issue with their violent vibe (look at the group's photo of the cyclist being "doored" and what they are "about": "My car is hard, and i am not slowing down!")

Facebook apparently agrees with you, as they are still going strong (over 1000 more new members since OP posted it). I say we all join and sabotage! Check out their info page--it appears folks are doing exactly that.

A few years ago in Fort Collins, there was a rash of 'doorings' until a cyclist got seriously hurt... then is all quietly stopped. It seems to me that as long as a cyclist is an 'image' (perhaps a 'dork' in spandex or some other irritating 'symbol') that some types find it fun to harass and hurt us. When it becomes clear (i.e someone ends up in the hospital) that the 'symbol' is human just like the those who are taunting, the bullies wake up and go harass a different group for a while.

Don't think that this "fan page" is just simple venting. Don't think FB doesn't influence people to violence. We had several kids beat up at a local middle school a few weeks ago on "National Kick a Ginger Day." And FB isn't just populated by middle schoolers with nothing better to do. It's mostly adults.

I reported the page as well but someone pointed out to me that Facebook has not shut down the group that denies the holocaust happened so maybe they won't care much about hatred against cyclists either. I think we should continue to report tho.

THe page I got to had some rather dated posts. Is it really that active a group? (I'd hate to revive it if it's dying a natural death)

I joined and was going to post the quote in my signature, but then decided it probably wasn't worth it after all.

OK, I'll admit that I have a Facebook account, but I know zero about how to navigate and "use" Facebook. I've been looking everywhere for a "report" button and can't find it. How do I report?

negative publicity and negative attention is still attention... exactly what he/she wants. best policy if you don't like what he says on there... ignore him.

Go to the page in question, scroll all the way down, in the bottom left-hand corner you'll see three options: Create a Page for My Business, Report Page, and a Share button. Click on Report Page.

Found it!! Thanks!

Yeah, I reported it, but I don't think it's necessary. Most of the posts lately are from cyclists telling the others that they are stupid and can be arrested. I think the cyclists have taken over the anti-cyclists. It's kind of funny to read the newer posts.
