There were many comments from this post that also claimed the disasters that occurred on this section of the bicycle path.

« At that point, the tuber, in the autumn, I fell there (finger finger). Under Strava, I passed over 100 times, and I was able to overlook what if a person was driving there for the first time. The point is that when you come from the top, you don’t see much, you don’t need a high speed, the tuber on the hill and the turn, just a little need to go down and throw it down.

Just a few days ago, I drove and wondered if I was one of the crumbs there, it turns out to be worse, and it is not clear how many other people have been there, ”another man shared his experience.

« The flight was not bad, face to the ground, a fracture of the strap, » another man wrote, adding a photo on his hand.

The author of the record stated that Kaunas Municipality was informed about the tuber. He also added: « It would not be to move someone else because they don’t hurry. »
