Diesel engine Posted July 15, 2014 Share Ladies and Gents While cycling, off road down Cedar rd, Broadacres this afternoon I had the most unpleasant scenario. While traveling at about 30km/h I hit 3 strands of wire which have put up accross a path which many cyclists/runners and motorcross riders use.I was lucky enough to be warned at the very last minute, I tucked in my head so it caught me on the top of my helmet, nose and arms. It is right outside the Chartwell Village Church. Please warn other MTB'ers in the Area... Edited July 16, 2014 by Diesel engine nathrix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted July 16, 2014 Share Perhaps a local entrepreneur / hawker using the wire to display their wares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigghead Posted July 16, 2014 Share Keep us posted, this is crazy that the wires seem to be outside their boundary wall. At the very least, they should be hanging something on the wires to warn the peeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
