Default Littering cyclists are their own worst enemy


https://www.gov.uk/government/news/e...t-spring-clean

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.

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

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

Littering is never acceptable.

It's an offence.

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