In the suburbs there's barely anything, maybe an airline-sized bottle or two - mostly energy drink cans. Once I get out into the country it's pretty much only cases of beer full of empties or the occasional handle of vodka.
What I really wonder are who are these people that are throwing up all over the road saturday night/sunday morning? I see the evidence at least a dozen times whenever I ride early sunday morning.
Same here. Some popular semi-rural routes for cycling pass a couple of roadhouse districts, lines of biker bars on one section, then a line of stripper joints a few miles later.
Funny thing, I rarely see broken glass littering the roads near the biker bars. They don't junk up the roads they ride one.
But the stripper joint roadsides are so notoriously littered with broken glass it's marked as a warning on Strava segments.
It's a familiar mentality. Stripper joints tend to incite anger. Guys get drunk and hopeful, nothing ever happens, then they get angry because they overpaid for alcohol and go ripping out of the parking lots throwing glass everywhere.
Fortunately, though, it's mostly aluminum cans. And no wonder some of those cans are still full. Those guys drink terrible beer.
