Editor,
Notice the number of mountain bikers that missed or disregarded the “no bikes beyond this point” sign (attached), up on the Carolyn Wood Knoll (also an esteemed member of TOWNA).
Social media has dramatically increased the number of bikers using the trails, which are shared with hikers and walkers.
We’re concerned about erosion and loss of brush with their carving of new trails, downhill speed, and use of trails after rain that damage them further.
This damage and safety to hikers is disproportionate to their numbers as compared to hikers.
