Unfortunately, it appears that there's been an ongoing trend around the world to intimidate, injure, maim, or otherwise kill motorcyclists. Why? Apparently, because we exist. There've been numerous instances around the United States in recent months, as well as in the UK and Canada—the latter utilizing booby traps developed in medieval times.
But the basic principle is the same. Individuals unknown are setting up these traps to do harm to motorcyclists, whether it's to puncture tires, garrote them with strung-up wire, or block trails; these mechanisms aim to hurt folks for no other reason than them just being. And now there's a new case that just crossed RideApart's desk.
