Yeah, but I usually want to push it back into the street....and I can hear my mother's voice inside my head "Two wrongs don't make a right!"
I have a friend who was adept at unclipping his right foot and kicking whatever (I've seen him boot off large tree branches) off the side of the road and then clipping back in without missing much of his cadence. Won't work for the little damaging things like this, tho.
Stinks what some folks will do.....
