Shadow pointed out that Tour de France officials are asking police for help in tracking down the thumbtacks that were the source of 30 punctures during the race. @Fake_Dispatch posited that:

Tour de France marred by punctured tires. "Hypodermic needles were falling out of the pockets of all the race leaders."

Meanwhile, Central Park riders have been warned about thumbtacks.
