Mr Legs Posted March 14, 2012 Share Yeah, I read your post. It's like the american argument that the automobile manufacturer should be jointly liable if some dickwad driving it runs someone over. I appreciate that you say cyclists should take responsibility, but the other part is ludicrous. I am with Andy on this one. Bio degradable sachets makes good sense, and surely isn't "ludicrous".

TNT1 Posted March 14, 2012 Share I am with Andy on this one. Bio degradable sachets makes good sense, and surely isn't "ludicrous". They'd still be chucked on the floor, and chances are the bokkies would have eaten em before the bio degraded and died anyway. Making them bio-degradeable doesn't mean they disintegrate the moment the touch the ground. Cassie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield2010 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Do you chuck empty bottles and take away boxes out of the window of your car while driving? Then why do it when cycling? I have a solution... Every cyclist must give a DNA sample and it must be put into a database. No sample = no race entry (Argus, 94.7 etc) Then if I see a empty gu packet along the road I will carfully pick it up CSI-style and send it in for testing. The cyclist then who test positive must be fined or whatever. It sounds far fetched I know but it can actually work....... Is it expnsice to do DNA testing?

Garfield2010 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Alternatively GU should give discount if you return empty sachets when buying the new gels.... almost like beer quart bottles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Is it expnsice to do DNA testing? Massively so. Oh, and on the bio degradeable nonsense, in a case like this, the manufacturer wont even change anything. Maybe the packet colour, and hike the price 2 or 300% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garfield2010 Posted March 14, 2012 Share My last suggestion would be to have the gatekeepers of Suikerbosrand stop all cylists entering the facility and empty their pockets. Therefore no gels or anything resembling plastic will be allowed inside. Only the odd piesang-skil my go in. You can get your crap back on your way out. And we cyclist must pay these gatekeepers salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield2010 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Massively so. Well then the party found guilty will have to pick up the tab for the DNA test that was done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
