Talk radio hosts are encouraging their listeners to be aggressive against bike riders, whining about not wanting to share the road.

Bloody Hell, as if it wasn't hard enough to dodge hurtling metal already, we've got these nimrods bitching? My bike occupies about five square feet of road space. Deal with it. There is no way in hell I'm going to ride on the sidewalk when I'm doing 12 mph, about three times the average walking speed.

Wow, what jerks. I wonder if they could be sued for incitement if any idiots follow their directives. Not that I *want* anyone to do that just for a test case. Ergh. Why would someone be that *stupid* as to suggest that a person on four wheels, encased in metal, try to slap down a person on two wheels with basically just hys skin. Fuckers.
