..In the back areas it is clearly posted "Do not enter, restoration in

..Guess what, bikers go around the barriers, ride in the off-limits areas and

..Any suggestions? These people may well ruin it for all of us.
So what else is new? IMBA and other mountain biking organizations promote the
attitude that mountain bikers are discriminated against, with the result that
bikers feel justified in breaking the law. Anyone who tells the truth (such as
you) will be shouted down by mountain bikers who don't want the truth to get
out.

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to
humans ("pure habitat"😉. Want to help? (I spent the previous 8
years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)
