so this thorny blackberry vine smacked me on the brim of my hat and I stopped to get out the pliers and pull on it, brought down the top of a snag it was hanging from. Took about 3 passes to clean it up after kicking and pushing the majority aside. film at 11 maybe

I really like the idea of bringing tools to cut down the blackberry vines dangling into bike lanes and sidewalks instead of just dodging and grumbling about it. Kudos!
@ordinoides I carry a folding cutter in my bike bag but really need a long frame-mounted one. Also I usually grumble and file pdxreporter issues, if only to create a public record of recurring problems. They do eventually come around with the big machines when people report debris etc. but it's depressingly slow and reactive, out of touch windshield brain priorities.
