Havent posted in a while and wondered what everyone thought on this. but I was riding up some country lanes recently and nearly came off due to having to dodge a huge amount of horse manure on the road! Now I know it doesn’t cause any ill envirnomental effects like dog mess, but isn’t there a case for horse riders clearing at least some of it off the road because of the potential dangers to cyclists? And to be honest when walking on towpaths too it’s not ideal having to dodge it, just find it a bit antisocial.

This was a serious topic of conversation amongst cyclists in the early years of the last century, a bit like potholes are today.

No problem, if it’s okay with you I entend to use that one myself in future – I’m a keen recycler! Of course, I can’t promise I’ll credit……
