107.7/The
Bone's Steven Seaweed is one of the Good Guys!
107.7
The BONE's Steven Seaweed needs your help in the fight against
cancer."This
spring, I'll be riding with Lance Armstrong and 5000 others to
benefit The Lance Armstrong Foundation," Seaweed said.
"For an opportunity to help people manage and survive cancer
and earn some pretty cool one-of-a-kind items, click here www.1077thebone.com
This personally autographed Trek cycling jersey like the one Lance
wore in the '99 Tour de France is up for grabs. You only have
until February 22nd to respond. I really appreciate your
help."
That's Steven Seaweed in the
photo above (Steven Seaweed's on the left, Steve Jacoubowsky of
Chain Reaction is on the right), being presented with a signed-by-Lance Jersey for the
auction. Not too many of those to go around (and this one took
about a year to get!). If you'd like to help, click on the
photo or the link above and it will take you to TheBone's
site, where you can navigate to Steven Seaweed's page.
By the way, as you can
probably guess, Steven Seaweed is a very dedicated cyclist, not
just a publicity hound. And he seems like an all-around good
guy as well (and we're not saying that just because he's a
customer...)
And now for something completely different...two San Jose (KSJO)
disc jockeys urge drivers to "door" bicyclists and
motorcyclists!
From Lance Casner, on the ba.bicycles newsgroup,
comes this disturbing (and verified) posting!
"Today, February 13, 2001, at approximately 4:30 PM., I
was listening to your radio station, 92.70 MHz in Santa Cruz. I
heard a pair of your disc jockeys (Krammer and Cooper) urge the
listening public to take out motorcycle riders and
bicyclists who share the roadways with motorists by riding up
between cars in traffic at red lights. I have never, in my life,
heard such irresponsible suggestions from a radio station while
using its privilege of public forum. What makes this behavior even
more horrifying is that your target audience is that of relatively
young and impressionable teenagers.
The disc jockeys in question believed that it was illegal and
wrong for motorcycles and bicycles to share the roadways with
cars, that many of these motorcycles were BMWs driven by dot-com
yuppies, that anyone who rides a bicycle should be forced to wear
a sign on their back identifying them as FAGS. They were
affirmatively urging their listeners to open car doors as these
people rode by and/or run them down. This is all so outrageous on
so many levels as to defy belief."
Mike's note- KSJO has suspended the two disc jockeys, as of
2/14, and was playing non-specific apologies on the air on
2/15. Whether they take this seriously or think they can
milk it as a publicity stunt is unknown at this time.
