who cares about drunk drivers killing cyclists? 50 SHOTS!!! WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!!
I nominate # 1 for the most mean-spirited, wrong-headed, completely unnecessary, and offensive comment of the week!
Bravo!
Oh, I should point out that "Al Sharpton" has been leaving essentially the same self-indulgent, childish comment for pretty much every post since Sean Bell was shot.
Anyone else see the irony here? It's usually Asian drivers that cause carnage.
Can we please get rid of all these "al sharpton" related posts.
yeah eric thought he was a he-man cyclist with that pose of his in the photo - not so he-man like now eh eric? remember that derek lake guy flaunting his new cycle purchase? lesson: don't be so super psyched and super proud for your bikes, the karma of irony and general universal shaft will come back to get you
then it's time to key some cars.
the karma of irony will get back at earl scheib.
