Random stuff that happens while cycling in Lisbon.
March 2018
Lisbon, Portugal
I personally never found this and well I’m or an urban cyclist and it’s more difficult to happen in the city some weeks ago it was said that in some parts of Spain and Portugal several traps were found in biking trails by cyclists the traps are made using wires tied across
The wide of the track at a level of the riders neck they can cause serious injury or death to those who hit at high speed against the wire since 13% of my viewers are from the Iberia Peninsula I asked the others how often it happens in your countries and
What do the authorities do concerning this issue

Never seen something like it, this isnfucked up.
What's your camera set up btw?
in germany we had several cases of that. also blocking trails with sticks and branches is very very common here
That is really crazy. Here in the Netherlands it never happens. Stay safe!
Here in Brasil is fucked up, they have a type of line called "Cerol" that is illegally made for Kites, but people have been using this to put on the roads, so when a motorcycle passes through, it cuts their throat. Those motherfuckers deserve to be beaten up naked in public.
Is it the land's owners? People get psychotically territorial over this type of stuff.
Same on some atv/dirt bike trails. 🙁
Im living in germany and i never heard of something like this
wow just like a trap for cyclists
The same thing happens in Belarus. It is dangerous to ride fast in forests and not crowded parks. I hear that police catch some kids that put fishing lines… (this was like 2-3 years ago)
I think somewhere they caught one while installing and he got attempted murder if I remember right, have to check it thought, dont take my word haha
We have them here in Latvia too, people that don't own the property but want to have it to themself (for example a part of a forest) put these up, I have seen like 5 or 6 of them. I just call the police and cut them off. So far nobody has died or been injured by them but they're still dangerous. Also, the authorities do nothing, when I call the police they come, go to the closest house that somebody lives in (because that's usually who puts them there) and give them a warning.
Seems a lot like that German film The White Ribbon
I have never heard of such a thing here in Canada.
If people were setting traps for cars, the world would lose its mind….
Boas, onde é foi filmado este vídeo?
I have not heard about this until now
That reminds me of traps used by nazis during ww2, thats why american jeeps had long high tube installed on hood
I've only heard of it in movies here in the U S
I had that problem back in 1996, when i was riding in Sintra Mountains. Had lucky cause i saw it in time to get my shoulder in front and push the wire with them, and the wire broke. I could be death or serious injured, since if i crash i will end into the road….
In Germany, we sporadically have boards with nails, single nails, tree logs across the trail, chains, thin wires across or on the bike trails. The goal is to cause heavy injuries on bikers, hikers and animals sometimes on the face. The police has an eye on it, but it is difficult to find the people who do this because it is mostly in forests.
I've never seen this in the United States.
I ride with an upright and a splitter attached to the end to avoid such things when riding unfamiliar trails and routes to avoid such things. but not always fool proof that it will happen on common trails too.
I have seen similar things in place in Scotland, on cycle paths
Some people are messed up
