Mark called and told me about this lady who called in to 106.1 and was going off about cyclists in Cary (Cary has the Bike Friendly distinction) and not being able to get around them, wanting to mow them over for points, even about not liking them riding the parks (!).
I called the station and talked with the girl about saying a comment on the air, but she said they had moved on to another topic. She was willing to type it up in an email. My hope is that, if they have a lull in the air time, they might read it. I could NOT believe such stupid aggression came from a female! She must really have it tough! Whew. I need to go for a ride! :) Below is the link to the station and there is a place to email the station manager. The email she gave to the show, which ends at 9 is : [email protected] http://www.roostercountry1061.com/main.html On 2/26/10 8:19 AM, "Whalen, Kevin" <[email protected]> wrote: > Way to go Kim!
