Are these on public property? Who's trails?

And apparently, most of the mountain bikers were capable of stopping for those obstacles. The RCMP is also quoted as saying, "Fortunately no one was seriously hurt or injured in these incidents."
There are no pictures of the actual "traps". No videos of cyclists almost colliding with one. And no detailed descriptions of the "traps".

Ok, following some of the links in the article.
Rope found strung across Nanaimo trail at neck level - British Columbia - CBC News
Wire snags Saanich mountain biker by the throat - British Columbia - CBC News

No details if similar "traps" were on the trails from the story. I was thinking more like dragging a few branches and logs across the trail to make a few extra trail obstacles. The neck ropes being put up elsewhere sound downright malicious.
