Recently killed deer lying mostly in the road, on a narrow canyon road with no lane or shoulder markings.

I did stop and drag it off the road.

Lots of tools, nails and other bits of metal, glass, shredded tires. Most of that stuff gets tossed off the roadway if I stop for it, but an occasional tool does get hauled home. Shredded tire wire ruined one of my bike tires, broken glass trashed another. I figure if I can save someone else a bit of hassle, it’s worth grabbing and tossing those bits of metal.

Oh! Glass: I was once riding along a road with an friend and saw a panel truck ahead of me bounce on a bump in the road, and the back roll-up door rolled all the way up. Must not have had the handle latched right. Anyway, a stack of boxes by the door tipped out and slammed on the pavement in front of me, making a loud crashing glass sound. Boxes burst open and shattered glass went everywhere. They were cases of wine bottles! All broken. Spent quite a little bit of time removing the broken glass and boxes from the roadway. A cop pulled up behind us and blocked traffic with his car, and then helped us clear the road.

That was the most glass at once.
