WTF! Somebody up in Portland is looking for a true street beat down pulling stunts like this. A recent article from Bike Portland.org talks about a mysterious bike hater who is throwing down tack strips in bike lanes. He (or She if she’s a real bitch!) camouflaged the strips using tar paper and secures them to the pavement with sticky tar.
Good thing some observant cyclists saw what was up and took action. The rider, Jeremy Dunn, commented:
– “We had our heads up and avoided it because it looked like refuse, but we came across another rider about a mile down the road who had mysteriously double flatted.”
One flat sucks, but double? Don’t let this happen to you. If you see anything like this in your city, make sure to let people know. Better yet, if you can get a picture of the perp, post it up so we can make an old school WANTED posted.
