Share the Road 2006: San Diego Radio Broadcast

Controversy Sparked with DJ's Remarks

Rick Roberts, a DJ in San Diego as well as an occasional mountain biker, spoke out against cyclists who don't follow the rules of the road in a March 20 broadcast. While the broadcast was derogatory; played up stereotypes; took cheap shots; and was ill-informed, he didn't cross the line and promote violence against cyclists. Still, this kind of tasteless and inappropriate ranting doesn't help cyclists or motorists share the road.
