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
Not cycling related but a rotten rabbit story.
I one ran over a rabbit in my Pug 205. I remember at the time not seeing it reappear in the rear view mirror, but didn't relate any significance to this event at the time. Over the next few days, there always seemed to be a awful stench on the drive, that just kept getting worse. My (then) missus realised, when I picked her up from work one day, that the smell seemed to be following the car. So inference was that something was trapped under the car decomposing. That evening, I looked under the car but couldn't see anything. So with the aid of a bamboo cane I started to prod round the undereside of the car, whilst prodding above the rear subframe I was rewared with a very manky rabbit falling on the drive. It was full of maggots and the stench was retch inducing. I somehow managed to get it onto a shovel without actually vomitting, and disposed of it on the banks of the river at the bottom of my garden. Errrgghhhh!
