I honestly can’t even imagine what kind of scumbag would take the time and effort to deliberately try to put people in harm’s way by doing something like this.

      I had the same exact thought as I was opening the comments, attempted murder is what that is

    Hey, that’s my city! I’m sad to say that I’m not overly surprised. I don’t know if it’s an everywhere thing, but there’s a vocal minority in Victoria that have a real stick up their ass about bike lanes.

      What’s their actual concern/problem? Bike lanes keep bikes out of car lanes and off sidewalks, and they make things safer for everyone while making roadways faster for motorists.

    There’s a painted bike lane / bicycle gutter that passes through an industrial area in my city. The municipality does a great job at clearing the street of debris with street sweepers, shoving all the debris into the bike lane 🙃

    Like a third of all the flats I’ve ever had are on that little patch of road that I don’t even go through that often.

      This is probably why I’m totally fine with the weight penalty from using Schwalbe Marathon tires. We don’t have a major nail problem where I ride, but loads of idiots who like to shatter glass bottles anywhere they please.
