Subject: Bicyclists are the Scourge of the New Millennium

I was watching the local news this morning here in Boston and was amazed at what I heard.  The news reported on the bike sharing program that Boston is installing in town.  After the report one of the anchors mentioned that she loved the idea.  Later when the local Fluff guy, I don’t know what else to call him all he does is read the mail bag and act all douche-y, said how horrible an idea it was because bikers are “the Scourge of the New Millennium” and clog up traffic too much as it is, she defended herself saying that hopefully they will ride of the sidewalk.

 I was shocked and appalled.  Not only was I called the Scourge of the New Millennium, the anchor recommended people beak the law and ride on the sidewalks which is also MUCH more dangerous than riding on the road where we belong.

 I’m writing in to complain and I think every other member of the Scourge of the New Millennium should write in also.  When morons like this make statements like this on TV it makes the bike, car relationship even harder.

ok, which channel needs and "edumication" Nothing like promoting people to break the law while trying to be more environmentaly friendly. Why can't the government offer a "bikes for clunkers" program. That $4500 would buy a whole lot of bikes Man, I wish people would remember the rules of the road before they open there mouths.

I have not lived in MA since the 1990's, but I am sure they did not report the two times I was hit by dumba$$ drivers in East Cambridge and Somerville!
