Jack, that rear mudflap is the stuff of legends. I am totally singing Spinal Tap after looking at the back end of your bike.

I would LOVE to get our club into doing something like this — even if we don’t do it via bike. Any kind of “cleanup day” would be great PR for us, and might encourage the City to help support us when we ask for assistance with planned rides and the like.

You’re my HERO!
Maybe we should work this effort into an organized ride for Earth Day or something… hmmmm?

Ghost, you get a community service medal. Excellent work! For every person that might snicker at you, another is silently thinking “I ought to do that.” You WILL make a difference!

And I really like climbinskier’s idea about the long arm trash picker. You ought to craft a cool holster and strap it to your bike… you know, like a cowboy’s rifle on his trusty steed. hah!

Dan, it’s all for the good of the planet — Tampa has a curbside recycling program, but I figured that the stuff laying by the side of the road is merely garbage UNTIL it gets into one of those bins…then it has a chance at “rebirth” !

Of course, I could segregate the aluminum and sell it for scrap…aluminum runs 70 cents a pound around here right now…

are you getting a deposit from the recyclables? Or is it all for the good of the planet?

Jack,
Trigger pulled. I’m on a waiting list at my LBS to get one from QBP as soon as they get them. WHich should be any day now!

Sioux, as long as you’re aware of the “wide load”, the big bins aren’t an issue. And, if you use the standard-issue ones, no transfer is required at the end of the ride…simply place the bin at the curb and go about your business!

Rick, I used to do the exact same thing after I quit smoking. All those cigarette butts are disgusting — I wish there was a way to recycle THOSE (because they’re gonna be there until the end of time).
