At some time the pressure will get too great and the cork and everything behind it will be released at high velocity - Very unpleasant for any biker.

That sounds like an experiment for brainiac.

Mogs...Yeah, if that happened you wouldn't need to worry about your observation skills! :P :P

You can train a horse to wear a saddle, bridle, shoes and human - a nappy should be easy. It could be introduced over a period of time like anything else?

I am pretty sure someone would be able to make a version that has a quick release fitting on it. Imagine that - you would just ride up to a horse stop and pull the string to empty - no need to get down or anything.

Oh yeah and - just exactly how much of a problem is horse sh*t when you are out on your rides? at least you can see it unlike other hazzards such as deisel, gravel etc. and if you cant see it then you shouldnt be riding cos your eyesight probably isnt very good

Hores sh*t is as much of a problem as a brick in the middle of the road. I can see this just fine too - but its still a problem and I wouldnt like to be the first over it

Nah...Hit a brick and you're in real trouble, hit a horse flop and unless you'er braking hard or leaned over, it's basically irrelevant. It doesn't just need for you to fail to see it, it also needs for it to be in exactly the wrogn place at the wrong time.

Yup. And I have the bent front wheel and knackered rad to prove it.

while we are on the subject of the horse. me and me pregnant wife was out walking in a field on a public path, all of a sudden, a herd of i think wild pony's started to walk towards us from at least one hundred meters away. i did notice there were 2 young ones in the group, so i asked my wife to track back the way we came while i stood there diverting those pony's attention. The first to reach me was a female pony, and wasn't at all friendly, nudging me along. At the same time, i noticed the head of the herd (well, looks noticibaly bigger) flanked me from the back and was heading staight towards me. By that stage, all the plan of making a great big noise and scare them away was totally outa of the window, so I found a suitable gap and legged it. With them chasing after me… my question is, surely that’s not right… and what’s the best way to chase away the ponies, horses or a herd of cows??
