There has been a considerable amount of feedback to Clear Channel, G105, and the FCC from cyclists in this area. People have really gotten involved. PT Barnum said it best: "There is no such thing as bad publicity". The way to get the attention of CC and G105 Management? Get the sponsors to pull-out. This morning the Bob and Madison "Showgram" was glaringly absent for the airwaves. My understanding is that they are suspended. For how long remains to be seen. Supposedly there was to be an apology, but I wasn't in the Jeep long enough to hear it. One reason for the Showgram's suspension might be:
"Capital Ford does not endorse the views expressed by talent on the Clear Channel radio station G105.

I am a triathlete and a bike commuter in this area. I ride to and from work (Cary, NC to Research Triangle Park, NC) 2 to 3 days a week. I would just like to say "Thanks" to you if you sent an email, wrote a letter, or got involved regarding this matter. Nothing worse than feeling like a target.
