Saw this on Facebook yesterday and it's been burning at me ever since!

Get use to it....ride and be safe. Does no good to be mad.Saw this on Facebook yesterday and it's been burning at me ever since!![]()
I'm very lucky. We can ride miles with out any real worryI try and keep my blood pressure down3 miles of tonight's ride were on a very busy road and I was very happy with the room people gave me.
I only blacked out names and pictures. I wouldn't want somebody posting my name and picture online without permission.Biker on a budget, why did you black out part of the face book post?
If you want to shame whom ever posted that on Facebook then I would not black out the name and faces. It kind of defeats the purpose of what you're trying to do. Bring attention to the matter and let others know who is doing this.I only blacked out names and pictures. I wouldn't want somebody posting my name and picture online without permission.
I enjoy the ride...Hack, I didn't know you did your grocery shopping in Toledo![]()
I'm not trying to call individual people out on the internet, I'm just letting everyone know that people with that mindset do exist.If you want to shame whom ever posted that on Facebook then I would not black out the name and faces.

There was a teenager hit on his bike in Indy a few weeks ago by a drunk driver. I guess they both ran a 4 way stop, so who's to blame?? Sad nevertheless.Two things:
1. I have seen the same type of posts down here in Mississippi, so it must be somewhat of a universal thing;
2. This weekend a 17 year old was hit on a neighborhood street while riding his bicycle. He was knocked 80 feet by the impact. His funeral is tomorrow.
Sad, sad, sad.
Hey, Facebook is a valuable marketing tool for promoting this site and my own site.forget facebook and go ride your bike!
+1!Part of the problem is some people on bikes gives cyclists a bad name. They'll go from the sidewalk to jumping the curb to go on the road, ride salmon, roll through stops etc. Of course some drivers just think we go too slow. I have a friend that thinks its too slow if a biker is going 25-30 on a downhill. To a non biker, it's counterintuitive that sidewalk riding is more dangerous, if not illegal.
If you're going to post something like this on the internet it should be call the person out. Otherwise what is the point? With this type of situation it is all or nothing.I'm not trying to call individual people out on the internet, I'm just letting everyone know that people with that mindset do exist.

That pretty much describes my style of riding. That's why I stay off of the main roads. Just backroads, sidewalks & bike trails. Ohio has hundreds of miles of bike trails.Part of the problem is some people on bikes gives cyclists a bad name.
