Well the people on the bridge might step over something not being able to properly see it. But still I thought it was funny.
I am glad in the second one they did not "SCREW" with the bike. That could have been deadly.
As to wire over ashphalt it is difficult to see. So, I would have slowed down also and either asked what was going on or to make sure I could "SEE" if there was anything before proceeding.
