I suspect there aren't many Tassie mountain bikers on this forum, and those that are probably already know about this, but can't hurt to post it here anyway.

There go my plans for night-time singletrack fun... Having had the less-than-pleasurable experience of hitting a chest-height strand of fencing wire at ~20Kmph (courtesy of the ACT government), I'm taking no risks. These traps absolutely have the potential to kill someone!
Probably aimed at kids on trail bikes, but that won't make much difference to the family who has to bury a mountain biker...
Be careful out there. Personally I wouldn't ride any tracks around Hobart without riding through at walking-pace first to check that it's safe at present.
