The speculation appears to be driven by the lack of details, no trail is mentioned and no reports have been filed to the rcmp.

I hope it is not true as there are many weekends where my buddy and I are one of the first few cars in the lot
Well now. The plot thickens.

"Recent reports of a mountain biker being clotheslined by a booby trap consisting of barbed wire strung across a popular mountain bike trail in West Bragg Creek, Alberta, are being met with suspicion by local Alberta mountain bikers online. The story has gone viral, reported in news outlets around the world–most notably CBC News in Canada, with over 27,000 social shares of the article–yet suspicions are still mounting. Most of the suspicion surrounds the GoFundMe page that the rider created for a supposedly stolen Specialized Stumpjumper FSR. The Stumpjumper in question is a 2008 model, and the rider, Stelianos Psaroudakis, is attempting to raise $8,000 for its replacement."
