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?

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.
