The other day I was riding my bike on the Paint Creek Trail in Rochester Hills when something struck me. When I walk my dog down the trial, I need to carry a bag with me to pick up her… well lets say “waste”. If I were to just let her go where she pleased, then I would be operating in an uncivil way. Granted it would be just wrong as well. Hundred of people use that trail every day. Bikers, runners, and walkers use the Paint Creek Trail as the place to exercise and/or just be in nature.

So here is what struck me the other day. If i need to carry a bag to pick up after my dog, then why don’t horse riders need to clean up after their horses? It’s a simple question really? Have you ever been at a parade and seen the Poop Bag behind horses? A quick Google search will take you to the Bun Bag! The “waste” left behind from a horse is slightly larger than my dog, so it does tend to create a larger hazard for those using the trail.

This was just a random thought from my odd brain!
