Went out yesterday for a ride through some local woods, not been there since the beginning of the year so thought it'd make a change. Got my first puncture in about 18 months a small panel pins multiple punctures, so i put a new tube in and thought i'd go back today it's a short but fast track though the woods and what happens???? yes you guessed same type of puncture. Now have i just been unlucky or am i right in thinking someone's deliberately put them on the track?
Either way i'll not be going back there.

    If you run over pins and get punctures don't go back and ride the same trail the next day unless you like fixing punctures.
    Someone probably put them there, it happens a lot. Usually disgruntled walkers.

    No, dog walkers just leave plastic bags full of sh1t on the trails and in hedges.

    I believe bears do that, it's quite natural.

    I would rather them leave it on the ground than bag it and throw it in a hedge.

    I have to admit that I can never understand the thinking behind putting it in a non-degradable plastic bag, then leaving it there anyway. If they had any sense they'd have a cat instead though, so I guess it figures... :lol:

    Some think its ok because they use biodegradable bags. They take years to degrade.
    I have a cat. I don't like it very much but it does sh1t in my neighbours veg patch and kill his fish and I dislike him more than the cat. As long as she keeps it up Tiddles can stay.
