Road accident causes, animal waste

Bikers and Horses
One of the hazzards of driving on country roads would be animal waste and if you are a biker, you are probably more at risk than many road users. This debate is about horse crap and motorcyclists. Should horses be allowed on the road?

As a biker I do not understand why horses are allowed on the road. Horse riders are for ever complaining about vehicles not giving them room, yet they allow their animals to foul the road.

| 10-7-2008 | Another great posting Lou. Its a very interesting point you make about canal towpaths as well, I hadn't thought of that. My daughter used to ride her dartmoor along the local canal towpaths - one day, they came across a lovely Japanese man frying up some sausages on the bank beside his barge. ...more | Nikki |
| 10-7-2008 | Firstly, there's not that much horse muck on the roads....far greater hazards are caused by muck from tractors or diesel from lorries (especially for bikers...and I know because I'm one of those too!). And horse poo isn't poisonous and on the pavement.
Secondly, most riders don'...more | lou |
| 08-7-2008 | I hit a pile of fresh and rather sloppy horse poo whilst out on my mountain bike the other day. I was going at a fair lick down hill, round a bend, and there it was, too late to avoid it, so I had to blast through it. Unpleasant, but not dangerous, nothing happened, the bike just continued on its ...more | Nikki |
| 04-7-2008 | I don't like horses much, nor the type of people who ride them. In the interest of fairness though, a few pounds of horse crap, which is only half digested grassy material, is a lot less harmful than the poisonous fumes emitted by our cars, 'planes, cigarettes, and our own excrement. I'...more | MikeP |
| 04-7-2008 | I am absolutely astounded by the comments on this web page regarding horses 'fouling' on the roads and that horse riders should carry a shovel. What planet is this person on. I ride my horse on the road and ensure that I am curtious to all other road users. We don't make the law, gove...more | Anita |

| 07-5-2008 | I'll never lose either Freddie ! We could go on arguing until the cows come home. HL is a prat and as Digsy rightly says, isn't worth the finger strain !

| 07-5-2008 | I've said that before fredders! Leave well alone I say, HL isn't worth the finger strain. | Digsy |
| 07-5-2008 | I'm well Nikki, and you? I would leave the idiots to argue this one now and not bother responding if I were you. You'll never win (a bit like my attempts to get people to lay off the police). | Freddie |

The argument continues !! | Nikki |

| 06-5-2008 | Hellooo...........Mr Push Biker.
You pay road tax for your push bike do you?
If you live in the country there will be muck on the road, what do you expect? If you don't like it, move.........
Horse manure is biodegradable, and, unlike dog manure does not carry any transmittable diseases.
