It appears another mountain biker has been injured in a suspected trail trap. On June 4, Cycle Solutions, a bike shop in Toronto posted a picture of one of the shop’s riders with several cuts on his arm.
In the caption, Cycle Solutions says the rider ran into a barbed wire and razor blades on a descent down the Loblaws trail heading to the Pottery trail in the Don Valley trails near Toronto.
“Def some angry trail users that don’t like cyclists,” said Cycle Solutions in the Instagram post.
Singletracks reached out to Cycle Solutions for comment on the story and to connect with the rider, but our calls were not returned before publishing. We will update this post if we receive more information.
A report of “trail terrorism,” like this is common to hear about once or twice a year. Last year, Singletracks wrote about another Canadian rider who rode into a suspected trap made of barbed wire, but his claims turned out to be fraudulent.
On the surface, the rider from Toronto and his injury seem authentic, although Singletracks can’t confirm anything at this time. We will update readers if we receive any new information.

Kids set up logs and jumps in a small nature trail behind my house, that lasted about 5 weeks till they were destroyed, I rebuilt them for them to have the logs all completely removed the second time.
I think many unfit sad people do not like other people to have fun, they are sick.
I think the trails are safer than the roads, the traps are very dangerous but each car can kill.
