My guess is that the gentleman frog is underneath and piggybacking the slower, lady frog away from harm. How sweet. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=523#post-3980 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:47:31 +0000 Stepdoh 3980@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well these displays of 'Frogging' down the cyclepaths are terrible.

Can imagine it's pretty gross.

I did my SSPCA bit and after spotting a first pair from a little distance away, turned and tried to usher them from the path. A little too much 'else' going on in their little froggy minds, so they didn't seem perturned at all at being picked up and put to the side.</p> <p>Off I cycle feeling happy at doing a little good deed for the morning, when I suddenly realise, 100 yards on, there's another pair at it! I came very close to squishing them, but for a ninja-swerve. So shifted them off the path as well (they were happy to be ushered for a while, but the young lady frog was a little tired after a few hops with a chap on her back).</p> <p>I saved four lives this morning. I reckon I'll wind up being some sort of mythical being for frogs... </p>
