Those pesky cyclists

News from Lubbock:

A man who police say used wires, broken bottles and nails to wage an eco-terrorism campaign against Lubbock cyclists could spend time in prison.

David G. Knape, 62, of Lubbock staged at least a year-long campaign against unsuspecting cyclists, according to police reports. He stretched wires between trees at "neck level" and put nails and glass in the pathway of cyclists.

"This could kill someone," said Dewayne Wallace, an avid cyclist whose friend was flung from his bicycle and cut across the neck by one of the wires.

I will admit that on a bike path, mountain bikers are to hikers, as cars are to cyclists on a road. They can be dangerous, and they disrupt the peacefulness of the walk. I used to walk the Barton Creek greenbelt, and on a Saturday it's difficult with mountain bike caravans whizzing past every 2 minutes. "Coming left!". My ass you are.

Still... never thought of the old clothesline trick...
