Does seem like there is a group of young kids trying to muscle up and feel they can ban people or tell people to "leave". They don't really contribute to cycling in Pittsburgh. It is more of a click kind of thing that kids do to fit in or belong. As many of us get older, that kind of thing becomes amusing and of course childish.
Nice post Mr. Eric. I do feel the subject matter should be more cycling related. Not how horrible we are for eating meat or whatever the latest craze is. What about cycling and safety? What are the improvements for us cycling in the city?
I remember posting about bikes stolen in East Liberty. Since then there has been lots of changes and it all backed my claims. The little click did the best they could to derail and tell me I was wrong there were no threats, but I really wanted cyclists that park a bike in E. Liberty to know they should lock them well. Probably shouldn't have bothered informing cyclists of the issues I was around and discussed with business owners All I got was grief.
