I stopped today at the bus shelter at the top of Greenhill Road and Mount Lofty Summit Road and was shocked at the disgusting amount of gel and energy bar wrappers jammed into the seat and shed. Surely it is not that much of an inconvenience to dispose of rubbish correctly. If I had to use that bus shelter and sit in that filth it would be easy to label all cyclists in a negative way.

I notice you racers don't seem to have much pocket space for taking your rubbish with you. Here is a possible solution.

Edward, like your link.

If you have room to carry it out you have room to carry it home. No excuses for the selfish swine cyclists.

i always put my empty wrappers in my jersey pocket till the end of the ride they don't take up much space at all

No excuse for littering but is there a litter bin there? Is it a case of a bin being full or people ignoring the bin?

There is no bin, but in nearly every direction there would be one within 5-10 minutes of riding. I live locally and went past and gave the area a good clean up, I picked up at least 30 wrappers, so how many have been blown away into the trees I hate to think.
