Someone is tying the string to hurt people. This was one of my biggest fears that someone might do while commuting after dark. I've seen many intentional hazards placed over the years and hit a few, but never anything tied across a path. Fortunately I never rode in a place with this kind of criminally incompetent infrastructure mismanagement.

it's not even taut, it's somehow just "floating around" and slicing the neck every single time
Same fear with some legal, offroad motorcycle/snowmobile trails. Every once in a while, some dick head moves in and doesn't like hearing two-strokes in the backing property.
Bicycling across the Marine Parkway Bridge is common, but is actually forbidden by the MTA, which asks riders to dismount and walk. But Brickman said it's generally safer to bike than walk because of the number of cyclists and the narrowness of the pedestrian path.
Uh-huh, sounds about right.
Also, a person pushing a bike is wider than that person riding the bike.
In Melbourne there was one cycleway that was regularly strewn with furniture tacks.
Hahaha what the fuck
