Only worried about fireworks on Nov 5th? You are lucky. The local idiots have been letting 'em off for over a fortnight, and I don't expect to get any peace until about 3am New Year's morning.
Riding over empty cardboard tubes isn't really a problem. It's the ones flying towards you from the giggling moron running up a side alley you have to watch out for
What manner of creature's this, being but half a fish and half a monster
Also i would be less concerned about what might be under some leaves (don't ride into a thick heap) but the actual leaves themselves esp the crushed mashed and flattened ones on corners as they can be slippery....

Smelt some smoke drifting along the M5 from the rugby club as I left work and heard a few fireworks when I got into central Bristol and that was my firework night excitement.
Took on board riding advice from the forum from the last couple of weeks Looking forward to riding over spent firework cartridges in the coming next few weeks

Why are fireworks for sale to the general public? Should they not be banned?
Went to local Morrissons supermarket today and they have a dedicated fireworks stall set-up by the entrance (inside the shop). People must still be buying them.
If fireworks weren't on sale to the public, people would be making their own and they'd be much more disruptive.
