Farmers about

To understand the answer, you need to take the post (and what it was a reply to) a bit more literally. If you do, it's actually quite amusing.

Must have missed it, sorry. 🤪

Work it out cyclist run over the cuttings and get punctures it's not rocket science.

You're right, it isn't rocket science. That'd be stuff like gravitational pull, and exothermic reactions in the vacuum of space, and thrust vs weight, 'nd all that sciency type stuff. This is cycling and agriculture. Well spotted.

Everyone knows that Totoro is a shill for Monsanto.

One of the best films ever.

A good hard yard brush would do it

I agree with you, and recommend this approach to you.

shill

Thanks. New word for me. Google says it's "Informal N. American"

I'm off to sue the Canal and Waterway's trust for trimming the hedges. Over 20 thorns in my tyres recently, and many punctures. Even cost me some better tyres.

How very dare they not sweep up miles of canal towpath and ensure it's leaf and thorn free.

Why is this in General Cycling?

Where else would it be?

It is talking about something which is an issue for cyclists who ride on minor rural roads at this time of year.

Greed that's the punchline.

Wrong, as usual when you believe that.

It isn't "greed" to want to make a living - to make a profit from your professional activities, whether that be running a farm, or a shop.

I know farmers it's you that's wrong again.

Oddly enough this is a perennial problem that for some reason never affects me.

Sure I get the usual seasonal woes - wet leaves, mud, rain, cold, dark, and abject misery. But I tend not to get a hedge-clipping problem. Must be a combination of luck, tyres and where I ride.

If there is some shoot to moan about you can guarantee it's here in CC... I think the thing is here is to deal with it. Motorists have to deal with speed bumps which shorten the life of suspension components, Aircraft have to deal with stupid birds, Fish have to deal with over-excited, hip thrusting French Fishermen etc etc... I think a cyclist can deal with the odd thorn in their tyre.

He regularly rides rural roads.

But I think the part of the country he rides most may have fewer hedges being trimmed than some parts.
