The local bypass was closed yesterday so the council could mow the
grass and trim the hedges. Was this because they feared the workers
would be endangered by speeding cyclists? We are often told cyclists
cause more danger to pedestrians than motorists.

We also reliably informed that cycists are responsible for all the
rubbish thrown out along the roads. So I guess it adds up.

Didn't know that cyclists lob McD's wrappers, fag packets and Monster drink cans out of their rear pockets! On motorways as well.

The really amazing thing is that this detritus manages to transform
itself into overlong grass and privet.
