Yes, unfortunately so. And it’s been going on a long time…
Drivers didn’t want to share the road with cyclists. But they also don’t want to lose road-space to cycle-lanes.
Sabotaging the lanes has been going on a long time, is quite regular, and seems to span a wide area - I expect there are several culprits. I hope someone gets caught… given the levels of frustration I also hope things don’t get ugly when they are caught.
Firstly, check for crocs.
Then I recommend, while spreading a line of pyrethrym powder to keep away Hercules, that you make a quick call to snake control (keeping a clear line of sight for any circling dingoes and charging 'roos of course).
At this point you should be in a reasonable position (I would say safe, but when are you ever safe) to call in the professionals (do be sure to watch the trees for drop-bears).
At least that’s what I know of the SOP for such matters in Aussie.
