Caltrops strewn across Leith Walk, Edinburgh (Reddit)

“Blatant terrorism to injure and deter bike users”: Cyclists report “ninja spike landmines” strewn by “anti-bike psychos” across cycle lane, with one suffering hearing loss in shocking new low

Police Scotland have said “enquiries are ongoing”, but cyclists were disappointed with the lack of action from authorities, with one local saying that when they reported it to the police, “they didn’t give a s***”
