Interesting twist to the year old story that I just came across.

Now the only cost I see is, they drove to the hospital so no ambulance ride.
Emergency Room visit is free.
Drugs for post-ER for say infection drugs for a month $150.
Doctors note is $50-$100 if not free.
9 year old bicycle - 2008 Stumpjumper FSR worth $350
Automated Trail Cameras that will just get stolen $100 each from Cabela's

Now if they had the time to take down the wire.
Yet didnt bother taking the bike, seems strange, very very strange.
Then his habit of crowd funding.
= Suspicious!

Calgary cyclist's neck sliced by barbed wire strung across trail

The two cyclists, both from Calgary, took down the wire. Leaving the bike on the trail, they went back to their vehicle to drive to the hospital.

The next day, the bicycle had disappeared from the trail.

It's a black and gold carbon 2008 Stumpjumper FSR made by the high performance bike manufacturer, Specialized.

Psaroudakis is asking for donations through an online fundraising campaign, with a goal of raising $8,000, which he says he wants to use to buy a new bike, pay for his related bills and buy automated trail cameras to "donate" to the mountain bike trails in the area "and make them safe."

Similar models of the mountain bike sold for $5,700 US (around $7,350 in Canadian dollars) brand new, according to BicycleBlueBook.com, but the used value of the bike nowadays is around $1,200 US ($1,550 Canadian) for one that's in "excellent" condition.

It's not the first crowdfunding campaign Psaroudakis has launched. In June, he asked for donations to help cover costs to get his chihuahua back, saying the pet had escaped his home and had been impounded by the City of Calgary.

Corrections - Stelianos Psaroudakis's missing bike is not worth $8,000, as an earlier version of this story stated. Rather, that is the total amount he is aiming to raise through his crowdfunding campaign, which he says he wants for buying a replacement bike, in addition to paying his related bills and buying trail cameras to "donate" to the mountain bike trails in the West Bragg Creek area.
