There are some odd drivers about!
 
QUOTE:
A cyclist says he made a shocking discovery while making his way through the countryside near South Derbyshire after finding sex toys dumped in a lay-by.

In a relatively remote spot near Lullington and Netherseal, a Twitter user known as A National Forest Cyclist, spotted was shocked to see the two sex toys lying in a lay-by as he took his daily exercise during lockdown on Tuesday, March 31.

He says he also spotted a used needle near the items, which may have been left there too.

He says he was stunned when he relaised what the items were, saying it is the firs time he has ever spotted anything like that while out items on his journeys, although he has seen other items, including dumped toilets.

He told Burton Live: "They are in a lay-by between No Man’s Heath and Clifton Campville. "There was some kind of syringe there too. Shocking.

"I’m out riding every day and have seen dead horses, toilets, ice cream and fridges, and it drives me to distraction but this was the most random selection."

Go find another bridge. This time do the job correctly. You could not even
kill yourself, typical stupid cyclist.

The lay-by is often used by cyclists, is it?

I thought you were going to be nice to Simon; maybe not.

First we need a definition of 'often'; such as more or less frequently
than drivers. If you had an answer, what pearls of wisdom would you
provide? There are only two scenarios, so you might as well tell us anyway.

Though it looks like a decent enough refuge to pull out of the way of a
tailgating driver.

I have never been to the location, so I cannot and do not have an answer
to the question I asked.

Do you?

tailgating driver.


Do cyclists often show enough courtesy to move off or over to the
nearside of the carriageway when being followed by traffic which they
are inevitably holding up?

I have never seen it happen, even though the Highway Code advises
drivers and riders of large *or* slow vehicles to do exactly that.

Can car drivers wait more than 2 picoseconds before cutting past?
