Donkeys killed in New Forest by hit and run driver
http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/newS/11592142.display/
But the NF Verderers will still try and be obstructive when cyclists come to visit.
Anyway, those donkeys deserved it, they were walking 2 abreast, didn't have hi-viz or helmets and were slowing people down, apparently one of them took a dump on a village green too.

I was just excited to learn that Grundig were still a going concern, let alone making stuff for bikes now! What's next, Blaupunkt power meters?!

the standard of driving in the new forest is abysmal. The road where these donkeys were killed is a popular rat run to get from the M27 to the A338. It's a road I regularly ride on and it's more dangerous than an A road! the worst culrpits though are the tipper and refuse trucks going to the landfill site near Hale...
...of course, they're nothing compared to the menace which we cyclists are!!
Easy to happen in the New Forest. I didn't realise until me first visit how many were running around just sitting in the road. I gave one a friendly shove he was blocking the road with a cue of cars just sitting waiting i know they have prority but still...
Poor donkeys.
the drivers were probably cyclists going undercover.
