Have been watching the cycling on the box, and must admit, watching them chucking their drinks cartons, etc, into the bushes really annoyed me. If I did it, I bet plod would be there and I would be nicked. Don't tell me someone goes around after picking up the bits.....where some of that stuff was chucked was way up and over the roadside bushes. I suppose wherever they lob it, they are immune from prosecution.
I like watching bike racing, but those actions annoy me.

They should stop and put it in the bin.

I bet they would be the Spanish riders. Cannot imagine any of our British riders doing a thing like that

They usually only discard their rubbish in designated areas, then after the race has passed, a team moves in to clear it all up.

[Bigron]

Disqualify them immediately, with no option to appeal: that would stop it in a trice.

Yeah Ron, they could all have carrier bags on the handlebars to carry it all in. Be great in a bunch sprint.

[Bigron]

Fine. That would set a good example to all other cyclists instead of the poor role model that this behaviour exemplifies. Did anyone tell them that road racing is illegal?
I used to be a cyclist, as an impoverished apprentice who couldn't afford the bus fare to work; now my Omega impoverishes me!

Added entertainment when the bag gets mangled in the front wheel spokes.

[Bigron]

Since they all seem to ride as*e-up, nose on the handlebars, said carrier bags could double as nosebags!

I have a nice scar on my chin when this happened to me as a kid.

In a similar vein, I discovered at an early age that if you come off your bike and contact the gravel that you skidded on, it ********well hurts!

Me too, but that was racing on a frozen pond, No bag required

[Bigron]

Er, can you see where you went wrong, there?

Ron.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I was riding down a long set of concrete steps on my bike when I was a kid (yes I was that stupid), the front wheel fell off and rolled away down the steps, while the bottom of the forks dug into the steps and threw me high over the bars. It seemed like ages before I came crashing down onto the concrete, but I hurt from head to toe when I did. 
It was one of the few childhood accidents & incidents which didn't result in a trip to A&E. 

[Bigron]

Ouch! I just had some nasty mental images when I read that, Albs. Charmed life? 

Ron.
