Cycling with sheep

Cycle commuters in real urban centres like Manchester and Leeds might face tougher traffic conditions than in sleepy little Lancaster, but at least they don't have to share road space with truckloads of sheep* on their way to the livestock market.

Surprisingly, they're not especially smelly (though one knows if they've travelled far), but bits drop out of the louvred sides of the lorries as they overtake, which isn't pleasant.

*: Literally – I'm not referring to the X2 bus to Morecambe.
