Just thought I would post some pictures of the kind of mindless thugs we have living amongst us. I'm sure we in the North East aren't the only lucky ones.

These photos were taken on a part of the C2C(7) in the Sunderland area.

As you can see, someone has kindly spread broken glass across the width of the cycle path.

A section a bit further along.

What's unique about the second glass booby trap, is that they decided to throw down some screws too, just in case the glass didn't puncture your tyres.

The only positive thing I can say is, thank god for Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres :)

Ahh, screws on the path. You might be surprised just how non thuggy in appearance these thugs can be. We had that problem in Perthshire once. The thugs drive land rovers and shop in waitrose.

I'm near the Newcastle part of the route and it's just as bad. This picture came up on my Facebook newsfeed the other day.
