fellow cyclists dissapointed me!

I had a lovely ride through the New Forest today, fantastic scenery and lovely undulating roads. In the middle of nowhere we came across an abandoned sofa and a roll of carpet. There is no punishment too severe for these sub-humans!!!

Don't knock it. An old sofa beats the bench that Broughtonblue sits on.

What's the verdict on banana skins then? I rarely use gels or even energy bars anymore and when I do I normally put the wrappers in the Jersey pocket. But I can't say I do that with banana skins. They get too messy. Normally a ditch it their final resting place. But of course they biodegrade and disappear, they might even provide a little nourishment for a rabbit or field mouse in need.

Dont think you have to worry about banana skins think of all that crap the TDF left behind. I saw one water bottle hit a poor spectator.

And I hear a rider had p1$$ squirted on him.

That was the boy Cav. Pretty dispicable behaviour that, i have to say.

Not to mention someone dropping carpet tacks on the road again. Maybe the person who left the carpet and sofa. The tacks fell out a bit earlier.

You could put them in the mesh pocket of a pannier where they dry out, turn black and shrivel up, It's easy then to dispose of them unmessily at the annual pannier clear out.

If I had panniers

No panniers?????
A bike without at least one pannier is just wrong.

What's even worse is no mud guards either.

No panniers but I suppose you have someone to clean your trailer after being out in the wet?

There's a van that follows after the race cleaning all the debris.

Shame that doesn't happen in Orpington . No offence meant.

Have you got me mistaken with _aD? I have no panniers, mud guards or trailer. Just me, a single speed commuter and a road bike.

No, just jesting
