Vandals
Radford's newest set of bike trails is so new doesn't even have a name yet.
And it's already been vandalized.
"That sucker hadn't been open two days when they super glued the lock and tore down the kiosk that was out there with information," City Councilman Bruce Brown said at Monday night's council meeting.
The trails -- about six miles of them so far -- opened July 19.
According to Mike Leersnyder, chairman of Pathways of Radford's trails committee, volunteers spent about 300 hours and $1,500 to build the trails to International Mountain Bicycling Association standards, put up signs and build the kiosk that vandals tore down.
A lot of people, including the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department, would like to know who those vandals are.
