But they can still kill you, just in case your post made them seem completely innocuous.
30 people between 1993 and 2016, looks to be 5 or so a year over the most recent few years. Compared to, I dunno, 100 a year or so related to horse-riding, or 7,500 a year related to alcohol.
So not completely innocuous, just very innocuous.
On the other hand I'd be in favour of public lynching for leaving those annoying little bottles around, which probably would be damaging to health.
Without any further googling, I'm assuming it's the same stuff you get when you have "gas and air" as pain relief, like in childbirth or something really painful like when I had my dislocated little toe put back in the socket? That really really hurt, but I had to laugh...
They need to introduce a returns policy. I remember as a kid going looking for Ben shaws lemonade bottles and returning them to the local shop for 10 pence which I spent on penny sweets.
The government is years behind where they should be on recycling and environmental waste. But that's no excuse for dropping their sh1t on the floor.
Living in nidderdale AONB litter being left is a real issue and bug bear of mine and other locals. So much has been going on lately too, i. Put it down to the fact that it was only “the idiots” that are driving out to places near me like Brimham rocks to enjoy the scenery but then leaving piles of their rubbish behind! I just don’t get it! This place isn’t going to be a nice place to drive out to if people keep leaving all their rubbish behind. Also I know most of us cyclists are good decent people that don’t leave rubbish too but unfortunately i do see a lot of discarded gel rappers, co2 canisters etc at the side of the road when I ride into work 🙁 and it does give us a bad name 🙁 I’ve also come across bar tape that was chucked into the verge (if your gonna go to the effort of removing it from your bike because it was coming loose, at least put it in your pocket take it home with you. Sadly a lot of people like to complain about cyclists for some reason, lets not give them any other reasons.
Same here in nidderdale north York’s mate 🙁 why do some people have no respect for others, the environment and the beautiful surroundings they seem to enjoy coming to, to leave all this shit behind!
