Haters

The Charlotte Observer web site ran a story about the auto-bicycle collision that killed cyclist Bruce Rosar in Apex.  Bruce was on the Board  of the League of American Bicyclists among other positions of importance.  As a safety instructor, I’m absolutely sure he was a safer cyclist that I am.  My thoughts are with Bruce’s family and with those that knew him.

Regarding the on-line comments from the Observer web site:

I don’t leave comments on the Observer and I’ve stopped reading them.  I’ve come to understand that the comments are a social medium for the friendless; it’s like Facebook for Mooresvillians.  I didn’t expect mature dialog, but I also wasn’t too surprised by the hateful comments.  At least three of the commentors seemed to be enjoying a kind of victory.  I’m repulsed.
