a squashed dead cow? where do you ride?
I'd turn round, go home and hide behind the sofa. Don't wanna meet whatever did that to a cow!!
a squashed dead cow? where do you ride?
I remember a TV programme recently where a touring cyclist decided to support his UK trip by foraging for food en route - including using road kill for the pot when it was in a fit state. I suppose if you know what you're doing...!If road kill isn't too mashed up I stop & move it to the nearest place it'll deteriorate without causing a problem...I hate seeing dead stuff on the road, & I don't like moving the carcasses but it just seems like the right thing to do.
Oh Deer! Maybe?...I dread to think what would happen if you hit one while doing 45 mph down a hill.
Try cycling in Nigeria (actually don't....) and you'll find human roadkill, some so flattened by the traffic that you could roll them up like a rug.
I'm only joking about mudguards being "embarrassing". They're a good thing to have and sometimes i wish i had them, but if the road bike Stazi caught me i'd be in serious trouble!!
You go girl. Impressed!I've got mudguards, a steel pannier rack and a bell, oh and steel wheels and a chain guard. And a bungee. And a heavy duty bike lock. And a pannier. oh yes! And I did 150 miles on it last week
That must have taken many hours. Only joking.I've got mudguards, a steel pannier rack and a bell, oh and steel wheels and a chain guard. And a bungee. And a heavy duty bike lock. And a pannier. oh yes! And I did 150 miles on it last week
