Thanks for proving my point. If the video was that easy to find, why wasn’t it included in the article? Read my comments, I’m not arguing the incident, I’m arguing against shitty clickbait.
Yes, exactly, provide proof or it’s just a claim. That’s it. We’re circlejerking over a shitty clickbait article based off a tweet that provides no additional information. We can do better than this.
i… i’m not circlejerking over anything. the same thing happened in my city to the ghost bike of a good good man. this shit is very sad and extremely sucks.
look i’m sorry that Canadian Cycling Magazine doesn’t meet your journalistic standards or whatever, but “this is clickbait” is a very weird reaction to this article. sometimes the tweet is all the information there is and publishing it elsewhere helps inform people who are not on twitter–of whom i am one, and was one back in december, 2022 when the op’s article was published.
at this point, i think you’re actually mad about something else. i don’t know what that is, but a normal reaction to someone taking the time to answer you questions about veracity is, “oh, thanks” and not… whatever this is.
(ps: it’s interesting to me that you called BLU “a guy.” it feels kind of like calling the ACLU “a guy.”)
