Found yet another inner tube in Glenrock today. Very sad to see this happening. It was toffed off the track half way down BJs. I grabbed it and disposed of it.

It's like pooping in your own kitchen.
They (presumably) cone to the bush to get away from the dregs of civilization... and then bring it with them
I see a bit of this around Manly Dam.
#leaveonlytyreprints
I'm riding Manly Dam tomorrow for the first time. Hopefully won't see any tubes though.
Pick them up when I see them, best you can do without catching the people redhanded. Violence doesn't solve problems, but it often addresses issues....
Unfortunately, being a thoughtless slob extends to some bike riders as well
I guess it's part of the me generation where you expect a lot for doing so little
And as off road cycling becomes more popular, it would be silly to think that all who take to it will respect the bush as well
Like anything, unfortunately you need to take responsibility for the f***tards and help to clean up their mess
On our trail we dig large holes that we take our dirt from. These are handily in the shape of graves. If we catch dumpers or rubbish throwers we show them the graves. 2 strikes and you're out
I have done it before somehow by accident at Kili so I make sure I pick up other people's tubes if I have room in my bag.
The "me generation"? That's a bit harsh, how do you know the offender was a baby boomer?
can't afford to throw away a tube, they'll take it home and patch it.
