The American River Bike Patrol posted a warning about the metal barbs that have been located between Howe Avenue and Sunrise Boulevard.
Massenkoff told CBS13 that the sharp metal barbs popped the tires of two cyclists and a county maintenance vehicle on the trail. He believes someone is placing them on the trail on purpose.
No one has gotten injured from the metal barbs, but Massenkoff is concerned about how dangerous that would be.
The parkway trail that stretches for over 30 miles is packed with pedestrians, not just cyclists.
"We haven't encountered that yet, but we hopefully will never," said Samantha Castro, who was walking her dog on the trail Sunday. "I would be horrified if my dog stepped on that."
"I haven't seen any," said cyclist Ryan Hill. "I haven't heard anybody talk about it either so it's new to me."
"Last year in November, in the same part of the trail, we found carpet tacks had been thrown out on the trail," Massenkoff said.
"We have a lot of crazy people who just like to make some bad stuff for other people," Pavlidskiy said.
If you see any, officials advise you to immediately report it to 311. You could also contact the Park Ranger Dispatch.
"Regional Parks is aware that a person(s) has been placing barbs on the American River Parkway Trail and urges all visitors to use caution while we investigate and bring this person to justice," a spokesperson for Sacramento County said.
