"Be vigilant, there's an idiot kicking about again": Cyclists warned as latest wire trap "clearly intended to do harm" found on trail

Idiot? How about an attempted murder suspect.
I'm not a cyclist. I grew up in a country where drivers hate them for taking up too much space (no bike lanes, of course).

My question here is fucking why? Why would anyone do something as dangerous and fucked up as this?
- Presumably a hunter or nearby property owner that assumes they're the only ones that get a say in how the forest is used.
  
  Still seems very overboard to try and seriously harm someone for cycling in the forest.
- We had someone like this in my city a few years back. He was mentally disabled and genuinely thought he was helping enforce safety issues on the trail. Doesn't make it right, but he needed a good talking to.
  
  I mean, in that case, at least it was a mentally disabled person. There's an understandable explanation for it. Other than that there's very little explanation for something like this.
Im surprised nobody has died to these yet. They keep appearing and could easily decapitate someone (the steel wire ones at least)
- Yeah, these have killed before, even if this particular one has yet to
  
  I havent heard of any cyclists getting killed, only motorcyclists. Correct me if im wrong.
Fucking people, Geeze.
- well how do we know the dog didn't do it?
  
  i mean he is standing right next to it lookin all sus
  
  (All jokes aside, fuck anyone who does this)
