As an Old Timer ( One of the 1st, way back in 2003! ), it does my grizzled old heart good to see the League join our ranks, even as infrequently as you so far are doing. ;-D A link to your Blog will join the link I've always had to the League website, in my sidebar this very hour. ;-D Now to the subject at hand: Your Advocacy Co-ordinator, gave me the heads-up to this disturbing story, and it come at a time when I've had safe cycling at the forefront of my blogging, for the last 8 months. http://www.sneakeasysjoint.com/thecyclingdude/share_the_road_and_trail_safety_matters/index.html I've just added my voice to those calling for cyclists to express their opinions to CafePress. 1st let me say welcome to the Community of BikeBloggers!!!

Now to the subject at hand:

Your Advocacy Co-ordinator, gave me the heads-up to this disturbing story, and it come at a time when I’ve had safe cycling at the forefront of my blogging, for the last 8 months.

I’ve just added my voice to those calling for cyclists to express their opinions to CafePress.

Sat, 26 May 2007 20:08:45 +0000 http://www.bikeleague.org/blog/?p=13#comment-31 There is a lively talk about this at Bikeforums.net. One member of that forum states that Cafepress has received a letter from the justice department regarding hate speech. (Don't know about that one) This is the type of thing that makes me step back, and seriously consider learning to speak Dutch and moving to Holland.

The best offensive is to get people to let their voices be heard by those who trivialize the hurt that families and friends experience when a cyclist is killed or injured. Thanks for the alert.

Hopefully the next step will be to take the images off the site altogether. Thanks so much to everyone that called or e-mailed so far, and thanks again to Dean Schott for alerting the cycling world to this outrage.
