Can't see that this has been done already: From the guardian website today:
"Snow saved a cyclist from serious injury when he was caught by a rope strung across an offroad track at Hamsterley, County Durham. Police are investigating the incident, which left Lukasz Sikorski, 29, with bruises and a rope-burn".
I mean WTF? I know its not the first time this sort of thing has happened elsewhere, but as I understand it Hamsterley is a proper trail centre yet some ****ing muppet still thinks he is in the right to do this! It is of course unacceptable anywhere but this beggars belief...

****s just utter ****ing ****s!I mean WTF?
edit, too slow
**. Complete **. If they are caught what will happen? £5 on 2/3 of **** all. ****s.
Not good, saw that on tuesday I think it was, if I saw someone doing that it could be time for some Captain Cave Man club action!

Utter madness. Should be treated as attempted murder but I somehow doubt it will be given any priority at all.
Puts the Peaslake stickman to shame!
I found innertubes stretched across trees on a very busy trail, i guess it was a walker upset with a biker littering the woods, scared the shoot outa me
Then years ago there were the pointy sticks buried into the ground pointing uphill but that could have been anti horse 😯
Thing is, with increased exposure of this incident comes the increased likelihood that someone, somewhere thinks that this is a great idea.
Will we see a sudden spate of these types of incidents? Hope not...
am glad that the rider is ok. whoever did that "you are a prize ****! 😡
