I have faint memories of a motorcyclist coming to grief by this very method several years ago, on the road into Port Glasgow from Kilmacolm. Some moron had tied a rope across the road at head height, using the poles on the "30 mph" limit signs, in the dark. :cursing:

I know what you mean, everyone knows it should be "my friend and I"

Surely should be " me and a mate."

Charming but somewhat feckless
On a road? I call urban myth. The first 4x4 or van to come along will either take it out or crash, depending on strength.

Only if such a vehicle encounters it before the cyclist, see this report of a cyclist "... recovering from neck injuries after "mindless" pranksters tied fishing wire across a busy Bournemouth road."

You wouldn't say "me was riding along" would you? You'd say "I was riding along". So it should be "I and my friend were riding along" or more correctly "my friend and I...."

The cable was probably somebody's telephone line that had dropped into the road. It happens.

I see the grammar police are watching. The uneducated among us had better either stop posting or get educated.

It had been tied to a tree.
