If you're one of the cyclists who carries no spares and couldn't remove a wheel to save your life, please ignore this.
Likewise if you repair your puncture and then carefully tidy up afterwards, move along, there's nothing for you here.
But if you're one of the idiots who change a tube and then dump the old one by the side of the road/cycle-path, can you please explain why?
Are you very much more important than the rest of us?
Do you think that discarded inner tubes magically disappear during the night? I imagine that when you undress you chuck all your clothes on the floor and your mum comes along and picks up after you. She probably tidies up your empty takeaway cartons and beer cans too.
Or are you so weak and feeble that you haven't the energy to carry a punctured tube home? I assume you managed to carry the replacement with you. The one you discarded wasn't any heavier! And you were actually less than half a mile from a litter bin when you dumped it.
As there were two discarded tubes together I guess you had a bit of a rough time. Part of me hopes that they were the only spares you had and that you had another puncture while you were still about 20 miles from home. But that would be unkind of me.
Anyway, don't worry about. I picked up your rubbish and brought it home. The cycle-path is a slightly tidier place because I rode it today. No thanks to you!
