I do a fair amount of biking in the summer, both on trails but mostly paved country roads. What I can’t understand cruising along the road is seeing little piles of animal poo near the edge that I have to avoid. What kind of wild vermin needs to take a dump up on a road? Possum? Raccoon? Rabid coyotes? So… they’ve got hundreds of square miles of fields and woods out there and they have to hold it until they can get up to this very unnatural, man-made strip of asphalt with rolling death-machines on it, just to drop a load?? Maybe that explains all the roadkill.
Yup, too much time to think about this kind of stuff out there, burning up the miles…
