The bike pooper

[Jrooney]

Someone is clearly very upset about hire bikes being abandoned around the area and has taken matters into their own hands (Gloved, I hope); Has anyone else noticed the bikes smeared with poop on saddles and handlebars? I've seen maybe a dozenover the last week or so

Yes, a few in Goodrich Road today. We had to walk the children by trying to avoid them! Is it really poo? Someone must have serious issues if it is 🤢🤢

90% chance the nutbar in question posts on  here. Round up the usual suspects!

I am an expert in counselling angry people.  I expect that We could do a good double act DKH.  🙂🙂

I’ve reported to the council. It’s really dangerous given all the children who walk to school this way.

I doubt anyone would spread poo around as a form of protest? It is not something normally used by protestors, is it? The only place I know of associated with 'protest poo' is HM's prisons?

Either way, it is an extremely anti-social, disgraceful thing to do and whatever the motivation - if there is any at all- to do this close to a school is unpardonable.

Also report it to the relevant bike company as they can come out and clean the bike quickly.

My suspicion, like first mate, is that it's not a protester and given proximity to a school it's possible a young adolescent thinking it's funny and no real other motivation.

 

Or the naked bike rider has struck again 😜

I did consider the possibility of outsider artist but it seemed extreme. It's fair to guess our pooper may have some  mental health issues, but I still think it's a protest.

It’s a new style dirty protest.  Nothing surprises me anymore.
