A 62-year-old man is suspected of stringing wires at neck level across a popular bike path, as well as scattering nails, broken glass and rocks across the trail in a series of traps set because he wanted to protect the environment, police said.

Detective Rene Martinez said he questioned the man about the traps set over at least a yearlong period, and the man told him he just wanted to protect wildlife.

Protect wildlife? What if a deer came running along the path and got hit in the throat by the wire?! I guess he didn't think about that. Stupid...

Wow this guy is nuts. But there are a lot of MTBers that ruin it for everybody else. I used to be a mountain biker, but the trails around where I live is about a 15-30 minute drive. When gas prices spiked up, I thought it made little sense to drive somewhere to go biking. lol But it was real fun though. Now I just ride roadbikes. :panda_shifty:

Sounds like a sick twisted old man, probably has kids riding up and down "his" footpath and it annoys him. Generally when people get to a certain age they start hating everything, especially the younger people lol!
