The Drongo Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 If i saw someone chuck his bottle or sandiwch away i would pick it up catch up to the guy and throw it at his head . hearing this makes me sick how self important people think they are. Yeah. And hope he's wearing one of those stupid floppy hats, and not a pucka lid.
Garfield2010 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Theres a new Gu gel on the market. The sachet is made out of 100% bamboo leaf and is therefore highly degradable. The contents are also ant friendly so you are actually asked to make sure you "litter" these gels all over..... As for the bananas.... I think you should tie them in a knot around your frame..... Or put the "skil" infront of your cycling pants so that it degrades into your "ballas". MTB riders lie.... they squeal about not littering... the only reason? They dont get caugt cause they are in the veld!! I have done MTB races and it is just as bad.... At least if you litter in the road it can/should be picked up by the race organisers since we pay through our necks to take part.... PS:- I dont litter I just sense some two faced comments...........
Grebel Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 It is a SA culture thing not in the race group culture thing but rather a south african generalised culture thing. People have the attitude that they are creating jobs... I had to dodge a Kentucky Fried Chicken that came out of a taxi windo the other day...WTF? This filters through to the general population which includes cyclists. How hard is it to put the Gu wrapper in your pocket. RHS for the full ones and LHS for the empties... Cell phone in the middle!
LeTurbo Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 i had a gu once ... i found i couldn't get it off my hands. it stuck to my left hand, to my right hand, to my face, to my handlebars, my right knee... those things are a hazard! then i dropped everyone up the next climb (sugar rush) and bonked on the way home... i can't win. Bwahahahaha! I relate to everything.
tombeej Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Anyone seen those Vooma's in the toothpaste tube in Dischem? Best dispensary format I've yet seen.So I bought one to see what it's like (chose the 'neutral' taste option). Wow, works like a charm. Since you don't have to gulp all of it down, you can choose to take in much smaller doses at a time and 1 toothpaste tube can last a long time.
Lou Zealand Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 How hard is it to put the Gu wrapper in your pocket. RHS for the full ones and LHS for the empties... Cell phone in the middle! Middle has spare tube, tyre levers and a bomb. Cellphone in the LHS with some cash and they key to the house/car etc. Use RHS for rubbish. Keep sachets on your quad, under your cycling pants. Easy access during a race
