We had this when a group of 3 were out riding in NYM. We came down a hill and round an bend into all the debris - no warning signs about hedge trimming or we would have got off and walked/carried our bikes. Out of 6 tyres we had 4 punctures. We approached the contractor and he advised us of the farmer who had engaged him and we went up to the farm, explained what had happened in a polite manner and the farmer gave us cash towards the cost of new tubes

:wacko: good luck with the compensation , i reckon you will need it :wacko:

are you seriously suggesting you should be compensated because you was riding too fast to be able to stop when you spotted a hazard which resulted in a puncture.

I often don't carry any repair means when going to the next village's shop or post office or takeaways. The repair time would be longer than the time needed to push home.

I managed to get the council in Glasgow to clean this up.
It wasn't a farmer or his horse that left it though, it was Police Scotland.

It must be difficult for them since the cutbacks that resulted in the closure of all those Doctor Who style Police boxes which had toilet facilities in them.... But glad to hear you still have officers walking the beat in Glasgow. 😀

Why are you surprised at my response? Carrying a puncture kit is something he should do. I also said that farmers here are very good at clearing the hedge cuttings up.

How much do farmers get? And what does he want? He can always contact his local authorities and complain if that is the road ( No pun intended) that he wants to go down. He didn't need to start a thread on the subject. All he had to do was Google it . Google would be the first port of call I would have thought.

Then again I wouldn't have bothered wondering what I could do. A puncture is a puncture as they say. And he will have many more that will be no one's fault. What will he do then?

And to be honest, they can sweep away and clear the cuttings away as much as they like, they still won't get all of them up. That would be utterly unrealistic IMHO.

Farmers around here make no effort to brush up after them don't know were you live don't think it's this planet
