Unacceptable cyclist behavior
by Kent Koral 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

On a recent ride that took some of us past the fire station near Lake Sherwood, we were told by one of the fireman that cyclist are once again using the back of the fire station as a toilet. Sadly, this kind of behavior by people that are likely not members of this club, make us all look bad. They wanted us to remind everyone that all are welcome to use the toilet in the station.
