Southern Veloway warning
Postby Zippy » Thu Jul 08, 2010 9:25 am
Just a quick warning for those of us that ride the southern veloway early in the morning, it appears that the "lovely" people of the southern suberbs are up to their old tricks again. As I was getting on the veloway this morning at Honeypot Rd. (Hackham) I discovered thin rope strung around the posts on the entrance track .
So be careful out there and if you catch the little ********** I am sure a pump inserted somewhere will make them reconsider their life choices .

When you say "again" do you mean that they're doing it at the same place? Or is it in a different place?Zippy wrote:Hi Guys,

Word on the street in Hobart is that it's some locals who don't like sharing 'their' walking tracks - some have been caught red-handed in the past setting traps on popular MTB tracks by putting logs and rocks etc across tracks. IIRC someone was cleaned up by a fencing wire trap on a designated mtb track in Conningham about 12-18 months ago.SeanB wrote:actually, i've seen somewhere that it has in the past been some 'adults' and aimed at the people hooning around on those mini motorbikes. some people...
I've hit a strand of fencing wire (dodgy council job, not a trap) at medium speed - managed to get on the brakes and came to a stop without having an off. Had really bad bruising across one bicep and nasty scrapes/bruises on the other - I don't want to think about what would happen if you hit barbed wire at neck height on a downhill track.
