NCR: Littering

[Delgado]

When one states "Ok, I'm not mentioning color" you know exactly where this is headed. As for me F%ck political correctness as it hides behind a faceless and nameless base!!1

 

PS. We reached anarchy a long time back mate!!! But hey these are the joys of democracy and human rights!!

I just walk up to the litter bugs and draw thei attention in no soft voice they have dropped / lost something.... when they start lloking around around to see what they have lost I calmy show to the paper, or pick it up and give it to them with a great big smile!!!

 

They walk away with red faces!!!!

ack in the old days before cycling (BC) ,I was a smoker.. I stopped at the Garage to fill fuel, and while I was there my passanger emptied my full ashtray onto the forecourt. I was gobsmacked. When I asked why he'd done such a stupid thing, when the bin was 2 meters away, he replied that "it keeps people employed". I've heard a lot of stupid things in my life, but litterbugs believing that people should be paid to pick up behind them is ridiculous. Same goes for cyclists.

I don't want to open a topic Roadies vs MTB's but in general the MTB's do seem to be more aware of litter on the track. I hardly do any road races but doing the Kormorant this weekend, one person threw a tube while fixing a puncture into the bushes and while riding behind another, he used his gel and threw the empty packet into the bushes. It's those kinds of acts that stop farmers/land owners from letting us through their lands. All you have to do is ride along our roads to realise how much litter is thrown down. Lets not let cyclist be part of that....

During a ride out by at Breedts yesterday, came accross plenty discarded GU/Energy Bar wrappers. Althought there also seemed to be litter from the 4x4 and motor bikers.

Amazes me how people who claim to love the outdoors also litter like that!
