Riding Through Dog Doo

[RolliePollie]

YUCK!!!!!! My bike STINKS!!!

Geez, what a mess! Has anyone else ever done this? I don't recommend it.

I had three choices:

#1 Swerve around poo and get hit by car
#2 Swerve off road and into ditch/blackberry patch
#3 Ride through poo

I chose the poo. I gave my bike a full bath, but I still think it stinks. Although dog doo is one of those smells that kinda gets stuck in your nose, so maybe that's what I'm smelling. It was kinda hard to tell where the poo went, but I think there might be some lodged in my cassette. Evidently it was fresh, so it splattered pretty good. GROSS!!!

EEEEWWWWW! No, I've never rode through dog poo, but given your options, I guess I would have done the same thing.

Oh, nasty. I guess the lesser of three evils, although I think I might have taken my chances in the blackberry brambles.

I can't stand dog poo. I sure don't envy you.

I'm sorry, but it made me laugh.

I hope the stink lessens quickly.

yes, and it's nasty. I rode through some last summer, it splashed or was flung up on my legs, as well as on my bike. I stopped and go the chunks off my legs and my bike and continued on to the trail, but when it went by the river I got off an waded in- I didn't want to smell that the whole ride.

I was in South Georgia in the first two weeks of July. Farm country and our retirement home(can't wait to get out of Miami). Riding along my 20 mile farm road when I see a huge lump in the road...yup it's a dead armadillo. My choices... ride through the dead animal parts or take the left side of the road on an uphill. If a car is coming around the turn I am dead. Yup right through the armadillo. I came home and washed the bike. It's all in my head but I swear I still have animal parts in my tire. As Forest Gump would say..."It happens".

I was hitching (motor pacing) behind Yin’s Camry and she accidentally ran over a full-size, road-killed opossum. It made two loud thuds along with its innards that got sprayed all over me. When I got to the office, my colleagues thought that I was hit by her car.

Hee, hee, this made me laugh. Last week I was biking before the sun came up and rode through a pile of horse poo. (We live in Amish country so it is everywhere.) I didn't have a chance to avoid it because I didn't see it. I did see the poop fly everywhere by the nice glare of my headlight. Yuck.

I had posted on my Facebook that there should be a "poop detection system" for the bike or at least an app for the iPhone.
