How the hell did you ever get that close to a fox? They are usually very cautious of humans.
And you may have cost the weasel its life, a life of suffering starvation due to your mountain
biking encroachment <g, er vbg>.

Yes. You are correct. I think this wins for most disgusting image on the net. I've seen it and still

Wow. That's, uh, odd. I also find it odd they blocked out some anatomy there. Was that so people
don't get offended?

Fro my money, well that's none in this case, but anyway, "ewww" ain't got nothin' on tubgirl. As my
son would say (no he didn't see either), "That's just nasty."

THAT IS SO IRRESPONSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
The danger man, the danger.
I CANNOT believe that someone would be so reckless as to take off their helmet while walking around.
Just wait until you slip and fall while walking around taking pictures. You'll get what you deserve.

I sure as hell do, even on my new bike: homepage.mac.commulholland.jpg.
And I ride plenty of trails with things ready to grab them.
I, for one, will never give them up. They're so much more comfortable climbing and unless one is
shuttling that is where we spend most of our time during a ride.

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat"😉. Want to help? (I spent the previous 8 years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)

The front is FINE! I'm broke but I'll be replacing the little rear tire as soon
as I make an informed and inexpensive decision. Freaking knobs are breaking off
the rear anyway.
