Garbage trucks!!!

[Tater]

I've noticed that I am more sensitive to smells when I am riding... and the more tired I get, the worse things smell to me. Nothing smells good - dump truck, barbeque, restaurant - although it makes a good incentive to go faster to escape the odor! It's funny, because DH says that a BBQ smell on a ride makes him REALLY hungry... it makes me feel a little ill. Anybody else like this?

YES!! Any kind of strong smell will make me want to hork, riding or running! Here lately it has been the greasy smell of fried something-or-other as I pass the fast food joints along the way. Diesel fumes will do it, as will cigarette smoke. Garbage trucks are, by far, the worse though.

I have both heaven and hell in terms of smells on one of my rides. There's the chocolate factory (heaven), and the leather processessing factory (hell). Unfortunately, I'm usually cruising through the intersection at heaven, and waiting for the light at hell! Mouth breathing is where it's at.

Depending on your community, not having control of what oozes out of your back may be illegal. (Oops, I would have been breaking the law that one Tuesday...) I'd at least want to know the company and let them know...
