Default Littering cyclists are their own worst enemy

It cost the taxpayer £6million to clear up the litter dropped by cyclists on our motorway network last year.
No wonder there is no money for proper cycle paths.

Something needs to be done.

Shoot littering cyclists?

Harsh, but fair, some might think, but you are right; it's a problem
that needs to be addressed.

Mind you, the drivers who chuck cigarette packets, matches and other
trash out of vehicle windows are just as bad: honorary cyclists, as you
imply.

I am not going to bother clicking on those links.

You don't have to if you don't want to.


I have better things to do.

They are links direct to images and simply reading the URL (in each
case) will tell you all you need to know).

https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=e...Ox6y27Zd TyM:

What language is that in? Gobbledegook?

I believe it is what is known as a URL (Unique Resource Locator).


Actually it's UNIFORM resource Locator.


I am no expert on distributed computing, but why am I not surprised that
you know absolutely nothing about it?


W^5


So you claim.
Anyone can invent a URL.

But no-one could invent a URL which could not be checked by clicking on it.

Why should I do your work for you?

What "work" do you mean?


Explaining what is in your links.


And those URLs are what they purport to be.

Why are you so reluctant to tell us what is in your links?

The links themselves tell you that (and this is the third time you've
been advised of that).

Look at the tell-tale bits of the links:

1: rider-rubbish-is-becoming-a-sad-by-product-of-cyclings-popularity

2: cycle+race+litter&oq=cycle+race+litter

3. [non-specific, but a link to bikeradar.com]

4: trash-talk-racing-waste

London Marathon

Eh?


You are talking about organised events open to the public where litter is inevitable.
I was talking about everyday travel.


Littering is never acceptable.

It's an offence.

Cyclists: take your rubbish home where it probably won't look out of place.


How childish.
