RE: [RC] Horses & bikes on the trail... what to do??? - Mike SherrellIf they can't miss a horse while they're zooming down the trail they're equally a menace to hikers and uphill-bound bicyclists.

How about this? "Do not crash into a horse. As long as you follow this simple rule, controlling the horse is the rider's responsibility, and if they are unable to, they should not ride in public." Regards, Mike Sherrell Easier said than done when the cyclist is racing down a steep, narrow trail at 30 mph. Santa Barbara had a horse killed and a number of hikers injured by racers on the trails in the last year (some of the cyclists get killed too): http://www.goletavalleyvoice.com/cgi-bin/viewpoint/readarticle.cgi?article=8 94 Even the mountain biking community recognizes the problem: http://www.safetrails.net/ -- Lynn Kinsky, Santa Ynez, CA http://www.silcom.com/~lkinsky/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
