I would like ure opinions on this pls..

I`ve been riding in my local woods for yrs, my main way in is thru a disused landfill site. I just climb the 5 bar gate and lift my bike over, no problem, does`nt say private property etc.
At the beginning of this yr a guy has started keeping horses in the field next to the gate I get over. The gate is not his and does not have anything to do with his field. However, he has put barbed wire all over the top of it to try and deter us from climbing it
Okay I thought, so I made a way in via another route. It still does`nt touch his field in anyway, less then 48 hrs later it has barbed wire all over it as well !!!

My mountain bike crew are all gettin pissed off now cuz we just wanna ride. We don`t cause this guy any problems but for some reason he thinks he can put barbed wire up all over the place on things that he does`nt even own

What would you do?

I know what I`m most probably gonna do but I would like to hear ure own opinions...

He could be putting the wire up with permission from the owner of the land.
If it is private land there is not much you can do, removing the barbed wire could be classed as criminal damage.
Is there not just another way in without crossing someones land?

"Your mountain bike crew"?? - wow - i wish i had a crew...

erm i'd probably take my trusty cable cutters to it myself but it sounds like he's having a proper clapdown - isn't there some kind of law against barbed wire...?

May seem like an outlandish idea but have you tried talking to him?

Yeah, try talking to him, or find out who the landowner is, and talk to him/her.
Shouldn't be too difficult to resolve.

Talk to him. Failing that, cut the wire, and if you get bollo<s></s>cked for it, just deny it.

But if you're smart, you won't leave any evidence of you cutting it.

Or rather than damage it, just move it down one bar on the gate, not in your way any more and it isn't criminal damage.

Mabey it is his field, He just isn't useing it at the moment. Do you NEED to go over the gate? I'm trying to work out whether your ride in the field after the gate? Or just pass through.

One reason he dosn't like you is your "crew" Some people will do nothing on seeing one guy with a bike... but when a group of kids come by.
The only law I know of with barbed wire is it has to be clearly labled with warnings. If theres no warning then feel free to cut the barbed wire down as it is a danger and a liability to the owner!

I don't know what you said in your first post, because I don't speak retard.

I get that you have a "krew" of 30+ riders. How about you grow up, go find the landowner, apologise for existing, then garotte yourself with the barbed wire.
