A rider was injured over the weekend by a length of wire strung at head height between two trees. The wire was spotted at the last minute and so the injury wasn&#8217;t as serious as it could have been, but there was still damage done. The incident occurred on a descent that is normally ridden at high speed and it was only lucky timing that meant the rider wasn&#8217;t going full bore.<\/p>\n<p>There are vigilante morons everywhere at the moment, setting booby traps that have the potential to seriously injure or even kill riders. It&#8217;s a sad state of affairs, but one we all need to be very wary of! This is the second similar occurrence in a pretty short amount of time, at two separate trail locations, so keep your eyes open. If you do find something, alert the police so they&#8217;re aware of this becoming a dangerous trend.<\/p>\n<p>Please spread the word about this, cheers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.cyclingo.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/02032009507.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-348 aligncenter\" title=\"Injury\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.cyclingo.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/02032009507-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Injury\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.cyclingo.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/02032009505.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-349 aligncenter\" title=\"Injury 2\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.cyclingo.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/02032009505-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Injury 2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a general warning to anyone riding trails around the place, be they singletrack or fireroad.
