Title: Here's a weird way to have your bike catch fire...
Post by: reesedp on October 19, 2012, 05:21:46 PM: (https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/c156.0.403.403/p403x403/581036_536069753076431_2134346375_n.jpg)

So I guess when I rolled up into the driveway the other night I ran this over and it flipped up and wedged itself between the header pipes. This is that coupon paper they throw in my driveway every week that I have been trying for three years to stop. Lucky thing I have a good sense of smell...

I can't STAND those things. I consider it illegal littering and perhaps trespass. Good luck stopping it- they are hand delivered and not addressed.

You were lucky, although it was probably not enough paper to have caught anything on the bike on fire (I guess).

Post by: reesedp on October 19, 2012, 07:21:10 PM: It's all good. I now have an email from the Daily Press confirming that they are not to deliver it anymore. If I slip on the plastic bag they come in when it rains and hurt my back... Larry H. Parker got me, $2.1 million!

I like your idea of contacting the coliciting company! Boy, I'd hate to hit some gravel turning into my driveway! ;)
