I suppose Nelson and Jeff Mchugh need to get out more often,
eh? Maybe sending them this months issue of Bicycling Magazine
would be a start, as its been determined that Portland Oregon
remains the BEST FREAKING BICYCLING CITY IN THE U-FREAKING-S of
A; for 3 YEARS IN A FREAKING ROW! Oh well, life goes on. I
suggest tuning in elsewhere for here on.
Hello gang,
I'm sorry to say that yesterday morning, 105.1 The Buzz,
joined in with a caller that was complaining about bicycles
being on any road without a bike lane. Our good buddy,
Nelson, seems to think that anything without a motor in it
has no place on the road and that cyclists should be forced
to take a taxi to their place of riding, indoors, and take a
taxi back home again. And, good old Terry had to agree with
the caller too because, once when he was pulling his boat
out of the water with his Ford Excursion, and there was a
bike in the way and it slowed him down a little.
I called them to discuss it a little this morning and they
were so rude that I couldn't believe it. Josh answered the
phone and he was just about as rude as could be, not even
wanting to give me the time of day.
Yesterday, I called the Program Director of The Buzz, Jeff
McHugh and he never even returned my call.
In this day and age, in this City of Portland, and its
Metropolitan region, that has been labeled the friendliest
cycling city in America, and when on this very day, there's
a front page article in the Oregonian discussing a, nearly 2
million dollar, add campaign targeted at reducing the
Portland Metropolitan Area's traffic congestion, it seems,
whole heartedly, irresponsible and bad citizenship for a
public entity as popular as the Buzz to behave in this
manner.
If any of you cares to join me in letting the Buzz and
Entercom, for that matter, know much the Metropolitan region
disapproves of this behavior, here are some helpful names
and e-mail addresses:
Program director for the Buzz:
Jeff Mchugh
jmch-@entercom.com
Sales Manager:
Brian Lee
bl-@entercom.com
Above these two on the food chain are:

And

Some of the companies that advertise with the Buzz are
Wells Fargo
The Shane Company
Safeway
Allstate
Les Schwab
PureRomance.com
KATU
Mattress World
Perhaps we could also let their advertisers know how much we
disapprove of this behavior and that we take notice of
companies that support it. Just a thought gang. I hope some
of you join me.
