Silly Picture Thread.

They throw their cigarette buts away & their empty drink bottles !. 

Then when rhey have a spill,  their rubbish is left there forever. 

Has anyone seen a cyclist put their empty fag packet into their pocket .

Or

Take home their empty booze bottle .

I volunteered for ' Sailability ' , one cycling marathon,  & was dismayed at their habits .

Are you blaming the muck on car driver's

 I would suggest that discarded  drink bottles on the roadside in much more like tossed out a car window than from a cyclist. For a start the average cyclist tends to carry refillable water bottles.   As for cigarette butts I would think that the majority of keen cyclists or not smokers.

[spacesailor]

Not the ones in that ' marathon ' I attended. 

They smoked , drank beer And threw their " snag wrapper's on the floor .

As bad as ' aborigines ' who discard " white mans rubbish " on the floor .

Looking at my neibours car , ( only two children ) ,it's definatly not thrown out , as his car interior is a dump !.

I haven't vacuumed the inside of my car this year ,  BUT , it is Pristine in comparison .

Can you really tar them all with the same brush over the ONE sample you have experienced? Nev

I ride a bicycle, motorcycle drive a car and a 4wd. I haven't thrown a bottle, wrapper or ciggy butt on the ground for at least 50 years.

But I have had repeated flat cycle tyres from shattered drink bottles on the roadside. Generally it seems to be local motorists that I see throwing waste out of car windows.

If this gem hasn’t appeared here, its time it did:

Shattered drink bottles are very unlikely to have come from cyclists. It would be pretty dumb to carry liquid in a heavy glass bottle rather than refillable plastic or aluminium.

That is something that has diminished greatly since I was a lad. I put it down to RBT, which has basically eliminated drinking while driving. Another help has been the beverage container cash-back. It is common to see retired persons picking up drink containers from the side of the road. Now that I am watching my pennies, when I finish a bottled drink whilst travelling, I'll take it home to add to the collection.Even the amount of litter along the roads is nowhere as much as it used to be.

''  the ONE sample ''

There were literally Thousands of rider's that day , and the park in Sydney was a putrid mess .

I will never volunteer again !. ( only volunteered to help Sailability ) .

Just show how much of a Rebel he was.

[pmccarthy]

If he is in Britain then he has the number plate up his crack.

[old man emu]

Didn't you know he batter for the other side?

 

It's interesting that one associated rebel bikers with Harleys, but in that picture it's a Triumph and in The Wild One Brando has a Triumph, too. Lee Marvin (Chino) rides a pan head Harley.
