Drivers responding to cyclist death
I understand that we have a memorial post for such things, but I felt that others would may like to see how many in my community see cyclists. Many of the comments have been deleted due to them actually threatening cyclists out on the road.
Read the comments linked at the bottom of the page to see what I mean.

At the newspaper I work for, some thoughtful and constructive story comments are received but the majority of them seem to come from regular listeners of talk radio. Other organizations have similar experiences. In general, it's not nearly so nasty out there as one would think from reading what is posted.
