Re: Fwd: RC: Mountain bikers

And if it had been a horse going too fast around the corner (or was your
trot too fast for your visibility)? Or if you had been on a bike and he
crashed into you? Since the mountainbike trails are non existent, I assume
you want to see horses closed from some of 'horse trails' to accomodate
mountain bikes - or do we just say 'screw the bikers'.

Speaking for myself, I can coexist with responsible bikers. As for
irresponsible bikers, they are in the same category as irresponsible
equestrians.

> Hi. I was almost wiped out by a biker on the horse trails. I was just
ready
to go into a trot after crossing a street and a teen came whipping around
the
corner of the trail. He was hidden, just as I was from him but he slid
around
the corner and pulled over. He looked pretty startled. Scared the heck out
of
me thinking what could've happened. Where we ride, it's up and down hills,
lots of brush and trees and turns and great training trails. But it's
dangerous to train if there are bikes on the trails. I think there should be
specific trails for horses and for bikes. The two don't go together
especially if they crash head on with each other. Someone is going to get
seriously hurt or killed. I'm not against bikes or bikers. I'm married to
one
who rides on the roads because the mountain trails for the bikers are non
existent anymore.
