fly off onto the course, isn’t that littering?

If you use dental floss it just snaps but stays attached to your shoe/bike for the duration of the ride. After you’re done the race, you can remove the remnants and dispose of it appropriately.

I find that they generally stay attached to my shoes, and I notice it weeks later. On some occasions, they’ll stay attached to the deraileur instead. The force of holding themselves there seems to cinch them down a good bit, especially if you make them tight enough to snap without having to grab them.

That’s why I try to arrange mine to shoot off into the spectators.
