FWIW -

I toured down the PCH 3 years ago. On one of the random backroads of N. Ca I all the sudden started seeing a few gel wrappers and water bottles. These few turned into more, until they eventually tapered off. Easily hundreds of gel wrappers, different brands (some of which I have never heard of), and probably a dozen or two water bottles. Later in the tour I realized that road was raced a month or two before in the ToC.

Now, Im not sure if the ToC has 'clean up crews' like TdF.... but if they do, they did a piss poor job.

As for the racist hate posts... keep em coming! But claiming a country is a crap-hole because someone is pissing on the side of the freeway.... well, you havent lived much. Ive seen plenty of Americans doing the same in stairwells, elevators.... but likewise for my time in Thailand (roadsides) and secondhand stories in India (where the use the gutters).

And if you have not taken a leak while riding on the side of the road, you probably arent very similar to the rest of the folk on BF.

Not to get too tied up into the rants.... but isnt putting cigarette butts into leftover food (where it will be disposed of), better than flicking butts out their windows (not to name the place Ive seen this happen)?
