Loved reading all the after ride reports! You guys missed a beautiful day to ride the trails though. Nice to see the weather turning in our favor now.
Well, here's an update on the radio issue from a couple weeks ago. I got a reply back from Andy Clarke, the President of League of American Bicyclist. I will let you read what he has to say.... ___________________________________ Kevin - sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. Sadly we do have some experience dealing with this; we haven't seen a Clear Channel station do this for a while, though. The link below takes you to the most recent example we had to try and deal with. http://www.bikeleague.org/action/trashtalk/#Greater%20Media At this point, the most important thing - I would suggest - is to meet with the station manager. Forget the DJs or hosts. Remind the station manager of Clear Channel's very clear policy on this - and let them know you'll let the corporate headquarters know as well (in a diplomatic way, of course). And if you have a transcript or audio version of the exchange, make sure you've read it, re-read it, and remain convinced that the hosts were encouraging their listeners to endanger cyclists (either directly or by egging-on their callers) before going after them. We are totally overwhelmed by National Bike Summit preparations right now, so apologies again for the delay in getting back to you. Andy Clarke, President League of American Bicyclists JOIN today; help us promote and protect the rights of cyclists! ___________________________________ Did anyone listen or call in on Friday? I was home sick and didn't listen to the radio at all. --Kevin DISCLAIMER: This e-mail is for the intended recipient only.
