Reader report on a possible danger along the East River River running path

From EVG reader JJ:

This morning on the East River running path there were some suspiciously laid out tire spikes right in the middle of the sidewalk near 18th Street and Avenue C — right before you turn onto the Promenade.

I obviously can't say they were placed there, but they definitely weren't there last night and they were laid out in such a way by the curb that you wouldn't see them unless you were looking down.

Not excited if this is a new type of new high school prank...

JJ removed the spikes and reported the find to the NYPD.

    I'm going to chalk this one to an angry jogger versus biker angst which common in that area... shitty thing to do either way.
    Was it a home made [nails thru a board] tire spike or something more professional.?
