I honestly can't even imagine what kind of scumbag would take the time and effort to deliberately try to put people in harm's way by doing something like this.

I really like this rather positive outlook.
It’s the same sort of awful people that do this shit: https://cycling.today/3-men-arrested-after-stringing-wire-across-bike-path/
I had the same exact thought as I was opening the comments, attempted murder is what that is
There's a painted bike lane / bicycle gutter that passes through an industrial area in my city. The municipality does a great job at clearing the street of debris with street sweepers, shoving all the debris into the bike lane 🙃
Like a third of all the flats I've ever had are on that little patch of road that I don't even go through that often.
This is probably why I'm totally fine with the weight penalty from using Schwalbe Marathon tires. We don't have a major nail problem where I ride, but loads of idiots who like to shatter glass bottles anywhere they please.
Hey, that's my city! I'm sad to say that I'm not overly surprised. I don't know if it's an everywhere thing, but there's a vocal minority in Victoria that have a real stick up their ass about bike lanes.

What's their actual concern/problem? Bike lanes keep bikes out of car lanes and off sidewalks, and they make things safer for everyone while making roadways faster for motorists.
They're afraid the gubmint will force them to sell their car and ride bikes at gun point and forcefeed them soy lattes or something.
