Untidy roads

[jimboalee]

I wish the council would send a truck out each morning to scrape up the dead animals off the road.

Not only do I have to dodge the carcass and trail of innards, I have to dodge the fleeing Magpies, Crows and Rooks I have scared during their breakfast.

The main roads especially because when a HGV hits the corpse, it's soft bits spray across the road. One day I will be hit.

Badgers are unarguabley the worst. Fat and boulbous just waiting to be exploded by an articulated lorry.

Please, please Warwick DC, clean up your act ( AND roadways ).

If your bike get's splashed by any 'bits' make sure you wipe it off later - soon goes off...believe you me, even tiny little bits, and it don't half stink.

On the club run a few weeks back on a Wednesday night before the clocks changed there was a shout from up front. I thought they were warning about rocks, then I realised they were shouting "frogs" there was hundreds of them it was a proper plague

They should just send Arthur Boyt round...

Someone was injured round my way last year because they hit a badger on a time-trial. I thought that was pretty bad luck until I heard the badger was already dead.

Recently a flatbed transit slowed and stopped in front of me, a guy got out, picked something up and slung it in the back. When I caught up saw it was a dead badger- either he was the council’s roadkill patrol or bored with conventional cuisine.

I once ran over a rabbit...still not heard the end of that from some people.

Coming over Standing Stane road in the dark one night (a steep unlit country road away from light pollution) when I was doing about 20mph a cat decided to suddenly jump out, it somehow missed my front wheel and went under my BB. I can't recall much of a thud but judging from the squeal I must of hit it with the rear.
