When you ride your bicycle regularly for transportation you really do start to notice things around town. One of those things is how much detritus, debris, and garbage is on the streets. This is more true at the edges of the roads as vehicle traffic tends to kick things to the side of the road. The problem is....this is where we put our bike lanes. As a result they are continually full of junk. The result is that rider (especially roadies with skinny tires) tend to ride toward the vehicle side of the bike lanes and this increases interaction with traffic.
Today however, I found the "debris" to be a little more substantial!
Now of course this is on the river path, so traffic is no concern, but I'd hate to not be paying attention and hit this. I did stop and
try to remove it. Rest assured it is definitely still right where you see it in the picture! So if two are three of you are riding together you might be able to roll it off the trail but it's not a job for one person.
