The eco-terrorist types who booby trap trails are akin to the danger you'd receive on the road from the idiot motorists who deliberately run you into a ditch, come along side and throw stuff at you or try and push you off your bike. While it does happen, it's not very commonplace. And in both types of situations, when the perpetrators are caught, they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. BTW, road rides get booby trapped too. The big ride around here this upcoming weekend is the Seattle-to-Portland Ride and while I'm not doing it this year, every year in the past has seen people throwing construction tacks and staples onto the route. It's almost a tradition now to be on the lookout for tacks near Yelm.
