Bicycle Hater page on facebook...

[ginny]

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)
