Dear Listers, OK, it's off topic. I believe this is an instance when we may excuse, no, encourage the exception.

My feelings about this story are intense and I find myself breathlessly casting about, seeking community for help encompassing this problem.

I cycle this neighborhood weekly. This is a major commuting corridor between Potrero and downtown. If I went looking to mow down cyclists, there's no better place.

I have kids who commute on bicycles. These same teenagers play "Grand Theft Auto" and laughingly commit heinous virtual acts just like this. I can't help but suppose there's a connection..... OMG.

The local Bicycle Coalition needs our support. 'nuff said? Oh no!

Can we get moderator support for this issue? Dale?
