SA Police have issued a warning to cyclists using the bike path that runs along the Southern Expressway to watch out for obstacles after wire was strung across the path.

So cyclists on a cycle way… Garroted ? What the duck?

      No, police only investigate when cyclists are keying cars parked in the bike lane.

    I was thinking about what a nightmare that would be the other day while cycling and here someone is actually doing it. What a world we live in

    Are there not cameras all along these expressways? In Brisbane I was pulled over on a motorway/expressway to report a hazard to whatever 13-xx number it was and the operator was able to locate me in seconds on camera. Should strip the license of any of these chucklefucks when they get caught. I should pull my bike out of storage and start cycling more now I think of it.

        Ahh fair enough, it was probably a motorway I was pulled over on.

        More ironic punishment as the people I know irl who hate bike riders with fervour are large Ute driving bogans. So the mental image of them losing a license for fucking with people they view as “taking up the road” (despite bike paths) was too hard to pass up. Though you’re right, it’s insufficient for what could be a life endangering injury.

        Edit: I also vaguely recall in America ( I think) people trapped a park/mountain bike path because they didn’t want people using the area like that (and left signs up) because it drew more people to the area than they wanted; and they were full grown adults.
