Cycling in the summer is dangerous part 2

[Soup890]

Well if those who can remember I created a post some time back saying cycling in the summer is dangerous because all the hot women and buff men walking around.

Well the other day I was cycling back home when I saw a dead Badger it was the same size as a fully grown Staff dog. Anyway as I was born in inner city urban London I have never seen such wildlife before. Now I live in a posh part of Hertfordshire where I'm greeted by all kinds of wildlife. I was distracted and ended up in the middle of the road. Every time I cycle past it I still look but it is being slowly eaten away by maggots (I think).

Hmmm...I can see why summer cycling could be dangerous.

Sorry, didn't think you'd been away.

Aaah, the stench of death in the summer heat... I'd hold your breath if I were you, I got caught out by a rather whiffy rabbit corpse the other day

A couple of weeks ago there was a small Deer in several (large) pieces across the dual carriage way. Cars were swerving all over the place trying not to hit it. God knows what the vehicle looked like that had originally hit it. It would have made a mess of the car.
It was quite possibly the worst thing I've seen and I'm not squeamish!

[QUOTE 3156557, member: 45"]I passed a small dead deer on the road a few months back. When I rode past the next day, it was still there. Still deer shaped, but completely flat. Like in a cartoon.[/QUOTE]
I could have coped with that, this looked like "texas chainsaw meets bambi"

There's a special truck that takes away dead badgers. I saw it one morning, it pulled up (near a dead badger), a guy got out, picked up the badger and swung it swiftly into the back. Then it drove off, presumably to the next dead badger.

I guess this is how you contact the badger patrol: http://www.hertsdirect.org/services/transtreets/highways/info/deadanimals/

Give it a week or so and if it hasn't been moved you will need a peg for your nose, they absolutely stink when they start to rot and this comes from someone with a poor sense of smell.

That's why the wise cyclist never sets out without a wild boar in his saddlebag
