Soon the great metropolis of Fresno will be having their annual
city-wide trash pickup. So what that means is that people have
HUGE piles of crap and tree limbs in the street in front of their house:

So the pallet with nails sticking out is my favorite:

Be careful out there.

This post reminded me of a ny blog that you can photograph and report cars parked in the bike lanes.

If we did that for junk in the bike lane, with our trash pick-up service, we’d be snappin’ pics all the way to work.
Dude, I have seen worse actually. a few months ago I rode by a nice 4 foot high pile of deck scraps every day. This pile featured very old splintered wood with several rusty 16d nails pointing out toward the passing cars, and twice a day, me. Clovis is not as prompt at picking up the trash, and it was there for three weeks! Yeah not allowed in Fresno but it happens in Clovis.
