I was over that way just yesterday, but sans bike.

*No, it wasn't me, in case you're asking.

Hope you had your shoes on then.

Even more stupid than scattering them on a road, a puncture is easy enough to fix but the vet bill if a dog gets one in its paw or worse your child stepping on one.

Thanks Muggers. Yep I found out about it when I met a pair of tandemists who'd been simultaneously sabotaged despite rufty-tufty Marathons and suchlike. I spread the word on Facebook, but not before another pal had been clobbered. I use the path most days but have escaped so far, and the Council have done some sweeping. Am keeping an eye out for the culprits, and I have a spy based in a foreshore location...

Is this why Swansea residents suffer more panic attacks than anywhere else in the UK? http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/24/panic-attack-poll-swansea-most-panic-stricken-city

Swansea, you have to stop this. It's been going on in Melbourne for a couple of years, and getting copy cats.

Wondered when it'd make it's way up here.

It's the "anti cycling" brigade at it again, the problem is they do not appear to have too many active brain cells because if they did they would have realised the danger to dogs, small children wearing thin soled shoes, adults wearing trainers etc. I honestly believe the kind of people who try and sabotage cycle routes with nails, tacks or even wire do not think about what they are doing, they are so obsessed with trying to stop cyclists they simply do not look beyond the end of their nose.

Good grief.

Apologies for the DM link - "The black Volkswagon Golf then appears to mount the curb".

They also put deliberately in quotes, suggesting that maybe the driver might have done this by accident. No such equivocation about the cyclist's actions I note.

Simples in DM-land.

- Driver - innocent until proven guilty (and only on condition that the charge is vastly reduced).
- Cyclist - guilty. Full stop.

If you had done that by accident then you need to have help!! And stop driving....!!

Surely that driver can be traced and presecuted.......he is trying to kill him for gods sake.

 

[LCpl Boiled Egg]

He'll just claim he didn't know who was driving at the time and get away with it.
