This is very scary.....

[John from Connecticut]

This is not an e-bike story, nonetheless it's about a cyclist being severely injured on a bike trail...Be careful.

Ugh, another booby-trap incident. I'm still having nightmares from the tales of prior incidents that were described in another thread on the forum. Just sickening ...

Because it was in a movie i just watched. Parenting 101 make sure your kids are not going to try to kill people on bike trails, or will in the future. Also throwing rocks at ducks might be something to look at for future decapitation of bikers. Has the world gone mad!

.... Has the world gone mad!

Yes.

 

[Off road all day]

Yes.

Thank the cosmos for mass extinction. Bunch of bacteria sitting around a table, OK this didn't work lets try again.

Not a bike story but another incident of truly evil people willfully harming the public for no apparent reason.

The teens involved were caught, tried and sentenced to prison. None have shown any remorse for what they did and are still in prison.

A sad footnote to the story is the husband of the severely injured teacher committed suicide last year due to delayed reaction trauma.

Well this is an uplifting thread.
