Re: Dirt-biker mystified by trap set on trail
Unfortunately, that is not an isolated incident. Dirt bike forums are full of tales of booby-trapped trails set by eco-terrorist types. I ride once a year in the Colorado mountains and always have thoughts of sabotaged trails in the back of my mind. As trails usage gets more contentious among mountain bikers, horse riders, hikers, hunters, motorized vehicle off-road riders and "put it under glass and preserve it" types, these things will happen. Be careful out there, wear good protection and don't ride alone.
