Iam an avid bicycle rider. I ride my bike 5 to 6 times a week on short and long trips from downtown Los Angeles to Trader Joes or Whole Foods. I am certain that their is a kind of Flash Mob mentality on the internet that instructs the visitors to the site to intentionally run down bicyclist and attempt to kill them
