Anyone watching/watch Chicago Tonight on 8/9?

They had a discussion on The Week In Review about the Lake Shore Drive meetings. When cycling was brought up, the woman from WVON said she disliked cyclists on roads.  After a woman from the Sun Times stood up for cyclists, they kept teasing her about siding with the cyclists for the rest of the segment.

Are we really at the point where this sophomoric crap is still prevalent?  It makes me depressed to see a cross section of the media treating cycling like this. She didn't represent herself as some cycling enthusiast, either.  She just questioned the logic of never changing our culture, and they just wouldn't let it go.

Depressing.

I know a few people that large who DO ride regularly, so I don't make assumptions based on his size.

I wonder when the last time Jim DeRogatis was on a bike (one of the other panelists that night).

Don't be an ignorant jerk.

Size has little bearing on being able to tell of somebody rides a bike; Ernest Gagnon probably rides more than you do.
