Garfield2010 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 How can any idiot litter in a nature reserve. I rid there often and carry everything out with me.No self respect if you can just throw your rubbish away anywhere but in a bin How can any idiot litter anyware?
Zook Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 What's done is done and Gu might or might not take up the suggestion, so let's not bet on that to get back access to the reserve. Is anybody in a position to negotiate on behalf of cyclists, or is it a lost cause at this point?

Is anybody in a position to negotiate on behalf of cyclists, or is it a lost cause at this point? Its easy, negotiate with your wallet. Having said that it will only casue more confusion as anyone can litter and then say it was a biodegradably freerange sachet that he threw away. Don't litter and that is the end of that. We need to make an example of someone. Lets accuse and convict Seeker of littering and ban him from the hub. Thats a good start.
TNT1 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 so let's not bet on that to get back access to the reserve. Is anybody in a position to negotiate on behalf of cyclists, or is it a lost cause at this point? Untill the OP provides the sauce, we don't even know if we've been banned.

Is anybody in a position to negotiate on behalf of cyclists, or is it a lost cause at this point? With the aforementioned problems and seeming disdain for cyclists shown by SBR management, I reckon this issue would have to be escalated to the provincial department. There has been mention on this thread of SBR being a training venue, but who's to say these satchets were left by peeps doing a training ride? Could the antelpoes not have ingested a satchet left by a racing cycling in the reserve? The OP has stated many things as fact, but it begs more answers.
1hill@aTime Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 You want to watch weedmod's hairy arse mud wrestling? too much info, you benoni boys are just weird
(Deon) Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 This discussion of Gu wrappers and other sh*t has been aired before. Sad to see the trail closed because of inconsiderate riders. Really sad. Who manages SBR?
chris_w_65 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 It is a shame that some cyclists behave as if they were at a taxi rank
Wyatt Earp Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 It is a shame that some cyclists behave as if they were at a taxi rank Oops, first racist remark of the day, that'a a 4/13 captain.
KnobbyMech Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I see coming up with ideas here trying to solve the problem rather than just to complain about it gets you flamed on this tread, but flame away; here is another. Heavily fine littering perpetrators in the reserve. Sell the idea to the parksboard by means of job creation. Place a (or 2 on weekends) "littering policemen" with a pair of strong binoculars and stealth and catch the bastards. Arrest them. Make them pay. We as concerned cyclists can show our support by sponsoring the binoculars and the fines may cover the salary (if it is as bad as mentioned). I am thinking R2000 fine. O, and raise a R10 entry fee per bike. That should cover the salary too. Edited March 14, 2012 by KnobbyMech
Tumbleweed Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Pain or Shine, it falls under the provincial department of Agriculture, etc...

This is true, would be good if JB could shed a bit more light. First step towards actually resolving the issue, in lieu of all the frothing here. Myself included. Overall though, the littering thing is definitely out of hand. Cycling, running, pedestrians, motorists ...

Cassie Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 You want to watch weedmod's hairy arse mud wrestling? And you know that how?????
Cassie Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 So, what about searching cyclists before they go on the route....then just confiscate all goo wrappers etc.Or sign them in and you have to provide your wrappers at exit in order to get a refundable deposit back??? All unclaimed deposits goes towards clean-up campaign??? Point is... there are ways & means to combat this scurge...
Just Keep Pedaling Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Rode the Golden Gate (a national park) pass a month ago. Alomst every 10m of the 50km ride there was broken glass from beer bottles thrown from windows. Plenty of plastic lying around too. But I don't see them banning cars anytime soon.
