Montreal is easily one of the most bike-friendly cities in North America, and yet even here we have carbrains who feel perpetually entitled to 250 parking spaces (the amount removed for the new bike lane) over the needs of everyone else. Clearly someone felt so strongly entitled to their parking that they threw thumbtacks in the new bike lane.

    I would just laugh at their lack of knowledge. My tires are filled with a tubeless compound that fills holes. Anything short of a sidewall blowout barely slows me down.

      When you are laughing, watch out for wire strung across the trail, that is always the next escalation.

        I’ve heard of hunters placing wires strung across MTB trails at neck height. In Spain several people have died or become tetraplegic due to them. You can’t see the wire in time to do anything about it.

          It is common all over the world. We all have basically the same monkey brain, we all have the same stupid ideas. It’s the good ones that are rare.
