Facebook Page Encourages Violence Against Cyclists

If you’re on Facebook, click here to see the “There’s a Perfectly Good Cycle Path Right Next to the Road…” page set up to advocate intentional violence against cyclists. Probably set up as a joke, it now has over 31,000 fans. There are only four posts, all in November 2009, so my hunch is it’s not an active page, but the number of fans it has is alarming. [Ah but comments on those 4 posts are very active.]

Scroll to the bottom left of the page and click “Report Page” and let Facebook know you think it’s inappropriate content.
