I honestly can’t even imagine what kind of scumbag would take the time and effort to deliberately try to put people in harm’s way by doing something like this.

A tubeless tire system stakeholder.
I really like this rather positive outlook.
It’s the same sort of awful people that do this shit: https://cycling.today/3-men-arrested-after-stringing-wire-across-bike-path/
I had the same exact thought as I was opening the comments, attempted murder is what that is
Probably about the same level of scumbag that we dealt with last summer, who wasn’t apprehended until the spring:
The criminal complaint alleges one man found three of the cords hung on the walking bridge over the Cannon Ball Path and Capital City Trail. The man fell off his bike after the first cord hit him in the neck.
27 News previously spoke to the biker, who had little time to react when he noticed the cord during his pre-dawn ride.
Madison police officers found the fourth cord. The complaint states an officer didn’t see a cord when he checked around 1 a.m., but one was there when he returned around 4 a.m.
Just ridiculous all around.
There’s a painted bike lane / bicycle gutter that passes through an industrial area in my city. The municipality does a great job at clearing the street of debris with street sweepers, shoving all the debris into the bike lane 🙃
Like a third of all the flats I’ve ever had are on that little patch of road that I don’t even go through that often.
This is probably why I’m totally fine with the weight penalty from using Schwalbe Marathon tires. We don’t have a major nail problem where I ride, but loads of idiots who like to shatter glass bottles anywhere they please.
Hey, that’s my city! I’m sad to say that I’m not overly surprised. I don’t know if it’s an everywhere thing, but there’s a vocal minority in Victoria that have a real stick up their ass about bike lanes.

What’s their actual concern/problem? Bike lanes keep bikes out of car lanes and off sidewalks, and they make things safer for everyone while making roadways faster for motorists.
They’re afraid the gubmint will force them to sell their car and ride bikes at gun point and forcefeed them soy lattes or something.
