For bike lovers in Cleveland, the irony is probably sweet.
A mean-spirited comment about cyclists last year by WTAM 1100 talk show host Mike Trivisonno helped generate support from Clear Channel for a citywide bike safety campaign launched on Friday by Bike Cleveland, the city’s largest, non-profit bike advocacy organization.
During a program last September Trivisonno, who has been critical of cyclists who ride on city streets, said he “wouldn’t feel bad” if he ran over and killed a bicyclist who accidentally fell off a bike in front of his car.
