There was an incedednt, though not nearly as bad, on the radio in atlanta. One of the DJ’s made jokes about bumping cyclists off the road while he was driving so he didn’t have to wait to pass. People started calling the stations sponsors and within a few days they were publicly apologizing. I’m pretty sure they had to do some work with the local cycling advocacy group too.

If it were funny I might actually laugh and not get angry but that kind of humor is so fucking lame.
