Ontario radio station promotes violence against cyclists

Permalink 05/28/11 15:04, by Michael McGoldrick, Categories: Cycling News
A radio station in St. Catharines, Ontario, ran an "Eff Cyclists Campaign" which has been described as "promoting hate and violence against cyclists". The campaign solicited a number of interesting calls, such as the one from a person who suggested that motorists pull ahead of cyclists and slam on the brakes. Others recommended using cyclists as "speed bumps" or throwing hot coffee in their faces. All this coming a few days after a hit-and-run crash that left a 31-year-old St. Catharines cyclist seriously injured.
